COMMUNITY EVENTS

Saint Martin`s Day, traditionally enjoyed on 11 November, marks the end of harvest season with games, dances and markets celebrating the abundance of the harvest.

This celebration originates in the Catholic Church in honor of Saint Martin of Tours, a Roman solder who became a bishop. A famous story recounts him cutting his cloak in half in order to share it with a beggar during snowstorm.

This year, for the first time, VodaFest - Czech and Slovak Association Inc. in collaboration with the Catholic centre in Sumava Peksa Park in Belgrave South, are hosting this significant event in our cultural calendar for the Czech and Slovak community to enjoy.
