Every family has a recipe.

The one everyone requests for holidays.
The one that disappears first from the table.

Join the Best Pierogi Competition 2026 at Slavic Experience and put your recipe to the test.

Traditional or creative.
Sweet or savory.
Classic or completely unexpected.

I can’t believe I found this video on YouTube completely by accident — and it stopped me in my tracks. My heart is overflowing with gratitude to (Chad and Lisa from Fork in the Road Studio) for capturing the raw, unfiltered soul of Slavic Experience. Watching it brought back every moment of joy, every burst of color, every dance step, every smile. You didn’t just film an event — you captured the spirit of a community that refuses to let its heritage fade.

Thank you for being with us last year and for documenting something so real, so beautiful, and so alive.

If you recorded a video or captured the magic of the festival in photos, we would be honored to see it. Please share it with us at [email protected] — these memories mean more than you know.

Can’t wait to celebrate with all of you again this year on August 1 & 2. The magic continues.

Today we’re taking you inside the Slavic Experience Festival in St....
