A Taste of Serbia!
October 3 - 4, 2025
6th Annual Serb-Fest!
Dobro nam Došli! (Welcome!)
BACKGROUND
Niko nema što Srbin imade!
No one has what a Serb has!
In October 2020, we launched "A Taste of Serbia" with a simple goal: to share the rich flavors, hospitality, and culture of Serbia with our community. This parish festival was born from a desire to expand on the beloved Serbian food traditions that have been a hit at our other church events and at McKeesport's International Village for years.
The initial plan for our first festival in 2020 was ambitious, but like many others, we were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. After much discussion and a parish-wide vote, we decided to proceed with a smaller, scaled-back version. Our expectations were modest, but with the grace of God, the community's support surpassed what we could have ever imagined.
Building on that success and incorporating valuable feedback, we're excited to continue "A Taste of Serbia" for many years to come. We've enhanced the experience by expanding our menu, adding entertainment, and consistently seeking new ways to be efficient and ensure everyone has a wonderful time.
We invite you to join us for a celebration of love, fellowship, and delicious Serbian food. Dobro nam Došli! (Welcome!)
