Serbian Cuisine presented by Serbian Community

Indulge yourself in a range of exotic foods that will have your taste buds tingling at the festival. Enjoy some of Serbia’s most delicious foods and experience a small portion of Serbia’s finest cuisine. Below are some of the favourite delicacies that will be available for purchase at the Serbian Festival in Calgary.

Chevapi (Minced Sausages)

This little tongue-twister is one of the first words a foreigner learns upon arriving to Serbia! Ćevapčići are meat fingers made of minced beef and veal, infused with spices and grilled to perfection.

Roasted Meats (pork and lamb)

After the meat is washed, cleaned and seasoned liberally with salt, it is roasted whole on a spit and enjoyed with lepinja (home-meade bread) and salad.

Serbian Cookies and Sweets

Enjoy a great assortment of Serbian homemade cookies and sweets. Enjoy homemade quality in our delicious and satisfying cookies made with love for sweets. They all taste as good as they look.

Testimonials

John Barlow

Member of Parliament for Foothills

I want to thank you for inviting us to participate in the annual Serbian Festival. We thoroughly enjoyed our day visiting with you, Premier Kenney and certainly his Excellency Mihailo Papazoglu.

The hospitality shown by yourself and the organizers was once again incredible making for an exceptional experience.

Jason Kenney

Premier of Alberta

Had a fantastic time at the #Calgary @SerbianFest. Beautiful folklore, great food, and of course slivovica! Thanks for the very warm welcome.

Mihailo Papazoglu

Serbian Ambassador to Canada

Odlična organizacija ekipe srpske zajednice i srdačnost, pokazuje mnogobrojna posećenost kanadskih zvaničnika i gostiju. Sa ponosom mogu reći da su na pravi način mogli da se upoznaju sa srpskim dostignućima, srpskim naučnicima i gastronomijom.
Upućujem Vam još jednom svoju podršku da i u budućnosti ovakva značajna manifestacija bude razlog da se srpska zajednica i mladi naraštaji okupljaju, gaje svoju tradiciju, kulturu i jezik, i da se veze izmedju Srbija i Kanade još više učvršćuju.
Srdačni pozdrav srpskoj dijaspori i Srpskom festivalu u Kalgariju. Celo pismo mozete procitati ovde.

Youth Participation

The Serbian Fest is calling for youth 15 to 19 years old for a unique volunteer experience!

Do you want to earn skills in working with kids, build your resume, and get examples and experience for your next interview?
This year, Serbian Fest offers a unique opportunity for training and practicum experience for youth interested in working in Calgary summer camps next year.
During the 4-hour long training weekend before the Festival, we will be able to show you the key elements of working in children programs.
You will have the opportunity to learn how to prepare a site for the program and have a chance to practice supercool activities and leading them, with our help, during the Festival.
We are planning three activity stations:

  1. Our famous face painting
  2. Craft table with amazing and simple crafts for kids
  3. Fun outdoor games for groups of children
To make all this work, we need you!
What we can promise is a lot of fun, a chance to make new friends, and an opportunity to master relevant skills for writing resumes. All the participants will get valuable and valid references for future job searching.
