St George Serbian Orthodox Church Serbian Festival

I just got home, and thought I’d post this ASAP. Over the past week, I’ve been driving past the banner(s) for the Serbian Festival/Bazaar at St George Serbian Orthodox Church several times a day. Disappointed that I missed the festival last year, this year, I made a point to attend.

The festival itself is not very large, and is very laid back. There is entertainment, a bazaar, raffles, a wine and beer bar, and of course…..Food!!!

The vinegary cole slaw went well with the salty-rich pig, which was very moist and tender. The crisp skin was a bonus. Taking into account that this was festival food, I thought it to be quite good.

Need more motivation?

Of course there are pastries and snacks. The lady who assembled my pastries was very nice, and helpful, and also talked me into getting a Meat Murek:

And of course I got a nice selection of pastries for the Missus:

The festival runs until 11pm tonight.
