About this event
2026 Holiday Folk Fair to Feature Slovenian Cultural Booth and the Eva Petric Slovenian Lacework Artistry November 20-22
Holiday Folk Fair (HFF) is set for November 20, 21, and 22. Its’ 2026 theme is “Celebrate Traditional Dance”. In addition to the most well-known Slovenian dance, the polka, there are many other types of dances in various regions of Slovenia, depending on their proximity to other Slavic nations.
Two of our adult mannequins, dressed in the Gorenska noša (ethnic costumes), will be displayed along with our children models. Frank Murn’s large automaton display of a polka band and twirling dancers in a Oktoberfest gostilna/tavern setting will be also featured. Finally, our booth will include a “How-to-Polka” station, complete with footsteps on the floor.
BOOTH VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED. If you would like to volunteer at the booth and would like to reserve a preferred day or time, contact Nancy Reese via email, nareese@wi.rr.com .
