COVID-19 Safety Information
While at the festival, attendees are encouraged to practice hand hygiene, practice “social distancing” and wear face coverings to reduce the risks of exposure to COVID-19.

However, we cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19. If you feel unwell, please don't attend the festival.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
