Morava Folklore Ensemble

✨39 years of Faith, culture, and folklore. ✨

This July 31 – August 2, the MORAVA Folkfest is back, and we’re doing something huge: hosting of the COTK Desanka Đorđević Ensemble from Žarkovo!

In partnership with our brother and sister Serbian Orthodox parishes across the West, we’ve worked tirelessly to coordinate the other legs of their tour. But to make this memorable experience a reality, we need your help.

Events like the MORAVA Folkfest don’t just benefit one group - they enrich our entire parish community. Whether large or small, your donation directly helps us defray the hosting and travel costs for these young cultural ambassadors.
