Day of Czech Culture

Saturday, October 8, 2022 in Orinda

Sokol SF has a rich program planned, which includes Moravian dancing, not only by the Karicka Dance Group from San Diego in their beautiful traditional costumes, but also our very own children's folk dancers, the Sokolici.

We're also thrilled to welcome the students from the Czech School of California who will be on hand with some entertaining singing and historical presentations, followed by musical Sokol members who hope to engage our audience in sing-alongs of beloved Czech songs!

And besides vendors selling traditional Czech crafts (think Easter eggs, small puppets, Christmas ornaments, jewelry and the like), we will have Easter egg decorating and craft-making classes.

We are also delighted to have renowned children's book author Martina Skala join us for a book reading and signing of, "My name is Čičák," which will be for sale for the youngest members of our audience.

Daniela Mahoney is coming from Portland! You might remember Daniela from our Easter Egg decorating zoom classs. She has some special workshops prepared for the participants.

You can look forward to some traditional Czech foods like itrnicky and jelitka, gulash with knedliky and bublanina presented by La Trattoria Bohemia from Sacramento and rizek with potato salad, sausage selection and strudl from DJ Bistro

from Concord.

Sacramento Cookie Factory will be offering their hand made lazenske oplatky. Today there is only a handful of bakers who still use this traditional recipe and technique to create this scrumptious treat.

And it would not be a Czech festival without beer!

Czech beer and wine will be available as well. You can look forward to:

Lev Lion Beers

Vinne Sklepy Lechovice wines

We will be sampling R. Jelinek products too.

PLEASE BRING CASH AS NOT ALL VENDORS ARE ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS!

Put Saturday October 8, 2022 on your calendar, you do not want to miss it!

We are looking for VOLUNTEERS to help us run the event smoothly.

If you are interested please contact us at sokolsfevents@gmail.com

Volunteers will receive a Day of Czech Culture T-shirt!
