Mark your calendars

We are planning a field trip to the 84th Annual Moravian Days Festivalin Lemont, IL

September 23rd and 24th, 2023

Moravian Day festival focuses on the spirit, beauty, and talents of the Czech, Slovak, and Moravian regions.

Come to Moravian Days to feel the heart and soul of people celebrating a festival in true ethnic style.

Our goal is to preserve traditions and show our future generations the music, dancing, and culture of their ancestors. During this weekend festival, you can listen or sing along to beautiful songs of the heartland.

Enjoy the energetic rhythms of polkas and such from our dancers of all ages. Have traditional food & bakery and imported Czech beer. You can also purchase arts & crafts from the Czech and Slovak Republics. There will be "Kolace" eating contest on Saturday!

The suggested plan for the trip is flying out Friday afternoon from SFO, spending 2 nights in a hotel, visiting the two-day festival, and returning back to SFO on Sunday night. We have budgeted a stipend for Sokol SF members to attend this cultural event. The amount per person will be based on the number of people attending.

Alternatively, we could take a red-eye flight from SFO on Friday and spend only 1 night in a hotel. Or you can totally travel on your own and meet us at the festival.

If you are interested in joining us, please send an email by April 30, 2023 to sokolsfevents@gmail.com and please let us know if you prefer 1 night (red-eye flight) or 2-night stay (leaving in the afternoon on Friday), or traveling on your own.
