The Russian and Eastern European Pancake Festival will be in the first floor café area of Salmon Library on Saturday March 16th from 9am-5pm. Admission to the event is $5 for the general public and free for UAHuntsville students (with Charger ID) and for children under twelve. Please note the Maslenitsa meal will be $5.00 per plate for all attendees.
In much of Eastern Europe, “Maslenitsa” marks the welcoming of spring, embracing the awakening of nature and the bounty of sunny warmth. Come immerse yourselves in an Eastern Orthodox Lenten celebration, sample traditional foods, enjoy authentic regional folksongs and folkdances, and learn about the culture of the Russians, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Kazaks, and more.
Please note attendees are requested to RSVP in advance at rsvp@internationalsocietyofhuntsville.org by March 14th in order to ensure everyone can be served!
