Festivals and Celebrations
The Festival are put together by the Festival and Celebrations Club.
Each month the Club organizes a wide array of diverse Pan-European and American Celebrations as part of preserving our Culture and Heritage. We remain steadfast to the tried and true, what has been passed down for generations and what we may learn from others who have dedicated their lives to studying and safeguarding our inheritance. We create opportunities and experiences in living the life as our ancestors did. We educate ourselves and our families through our history, philosophy and great literature. Everything we need to live right and well has stood the test of time. One of our goals is to live, learn and pass down our culture and heritage to the generations to come,
