7th Annual Balkan Chestnut Festival
About the Event
About this Event
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of live folk music, dance, and community at Wyoming Farm in Clinton, MD, on October 19th, 2024, from 1-5 PM. We’re thrilled to host Zlatne Uste, one of the most beloved Balkan brass bands in the United States, for a lively and joyful harvest celebration.
Experience the beautiful and fun dances that traditionally pair with Balkan music. We'll be moving our feet to:
- Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band
- Balkan Soul Band
- Niva
- Szikra
Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a first-timer, everyone is encouraged to join the circle!
In addition to the music and dance, you’ll have the unique opportunity to pick your own chestnuts in our beautiful orchards. It’s the perfect way to connect with nature, enjoy the fall season, and take home a taste of the farm’s bounty.
After working up an appetite, indulge in delicious traditional Balkan food, beverages, and snacks provided by Mezehub of Rockville, MD and lovingly prepared by our friends at St. Luke's Serbian Orthodox Church of Washington, DC. It's the perfect way to experience the rich flavors and culture of the Balkans.
Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to connect with your community, enjoy incredible music, and celebrate together. Bring your friends, family, and dancing shoes—we can’t wait to see you there!
