Twin Cities Romanian Festival 2009
We are excited to invite you to our third Romanian Festival in the Twin Cities, organized by our church community. The event will
take place on Saturday, July 25th from 11 am to 7 pm on the grounds of St. Stefan Church (directions).
A great time for the entire family - bring your friends and spend the day with us to enjoy and savor the flavors of Romanian food and culture:
- Food for the body - delicious Romanian sausage, chicken on the grill, salad, side dishes, beverages, beer, Romanian pastries and much more
- Food for the soul – Romanian music, featuring the renown ensemble Izvorasul performing in authentic Romanian costumes,
slide show depicting Romania’s beauty and wealth of cultural treasures, Romanian art crafts, games for the children
- Food for the spirit - an immersion in the essence of Eastern Orthodox Christianity through tours of the church, an exhibit and sale of beautiful icons and books that are treasures for spiritual growth and understanding.
For more details consult the Festival's flyer.
If you'd like to get involved please open our parishioners newsletter for contact details.
All the proceedings will be used for the restoration of our church that has been listed as one of Minnesota's historical monuments.
Our forefathers built this monument to preserve their cultural and spiritual roots and now it is our turn to at least preserve it.
With the proceeds and the donations generated by the last two festivals and other donations, we began the first steps of the restoration process.
Check-out images from previous Festivals - 2007, 2008 - each and every one being huge successes.
