All cultural enthusiasts are eagerly invited to the 5th Annual Ottawa Serbian Festival. This event showcases the rich history of the Balkan culture, which includes savouring delicious Serbian foods, partaking in traditional Serbian and other cultures’ folk dances, and enjoying both modern and traditional Serbian music. If you like to have fun in a new and exciting way, while learning about what makes Canada so culturally unique, this is the festival for you.

This year’s Serbian fest is going to be bigger and better than ever, as other cultural groups are also set to enrich festival activities. The ultimate goal of the Serbian Festival is to promote Serbian culture, heritage and tradition, with the aim of enhancing the multicultural tradition in Canada.

“This is a very special year for us. This year is our five-year landmark. Not only are we eager to showcase Serbian culture with even more of our talented dance and musical ensembles from the National Capital Region, Montreal and Toronto, but we are also very interested in collaborating with other cultural groups, which bring to this year’s festival Mexican, Cuban, Scottish and Chinese dance ensembles,” explained Snezana Jaksic, the festival’s coordinator of cultural events. Each day’s evening program will also include a special dance simultaneously performed by all the groups.
