Our festival is over but the season is just getting started! Simply Slavic is always a great time!

Simply Slavic Festival is back and for the first time ever, we’re celebrating with THREE full days in Downtown Youngstown.

Join us June 26–28 at the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre as we celebrate 15 years of Slavic heritage.

In a weekend packed with live music, food, beverages, and cultural experiences from fourteen Slavic nations there is something for everyone.

The good news: we had a wonderful festival yesterday and are so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!

The not-so-good news: when our volunteers arrived this morning to begin cleanup, they discovered that a large tree had fallen overnight onto our roasting area. We are still assessing the damage, but it appears we may be facing significant roof repairs and possible structural damage.

If you would like to volunteer to help with cleanup or would like to contribute toward repairs, we would greatly appreciate your support. Please reach out to us directly or donate via Venmo: .

Thank you for helping us preserve and care for the grounds we all enjoy. ❤️ 🇭🇷

So incredibly thankful for this donation from Simply Slavic. Come check it out at our festival - just a few hours away. Rain or shine!

The project consisted of restoring and replacing the entrance signage at the Strossmayer Croatian Picnic Grounds in Vienna Township, just in time for the Croatian Festival this Saturday.
