Some events are about more than just entertainment. This one is about belonging 🤍💙❤️

For generations, volunteers have given their time, energy and hearts to preserving Slovenian culture in Ontario and throughout Canada, so we can enjoy everything that the Slovenian community has to offer (like the amazing team of volunteers behind our Zimski Market event).

December 4 at our 35 Years Together | Special Anniversary Concert is our opportunity to celebrate them, celebrate Slovenia and celebrate the community they helped build.

Don’t forget: Proceeds of this concert go towards funding important VSKO projects and institutions like RGKS, Glasilo, and other important community initiatives.
