Dear Friends!
We warmly invite you to celebrate Maslenitsa with us – to welcome the coming spring, enjoy the sunshine, taste delicious traditional blini, and applaud the wonderful talents of our children. Maslenitsa is a traditional Eastern European cultural festival with ancient roots that celebrates the end of winter and the arrival of spring, bringing communities together for music, dancing, games, and the sharing of blini (thin pancakes) symbolizing the sun and renewal, reflecting centuries of seasonal tradition and folk heritage. This joyful community celebration brings families and friends together for an afternoon filled with warmth, culture, music, and festive spirit.
Join us on March 1 at 4:00 PM for our Maslenitsa celebration!
