There are moments when fashion becomes more than beauty and style — it becomes a way to gather, to celebrate community, and to extend kindness to others.

Hrvatska Žena warmly invites you to our Annual Fashion Show on Sunday, October 25th, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Chateau Ritz in Niles.

Please join us for a lovely afternoon featuring lunch, fellowship, and beautiful fashions presented by Neiman Marcus, all in support of a mission that has guided Hrvatska Žena since 1929: helping those in need here in the United States and in Croatia through our charitable and fundraising efforts.

Ticket information:
$70 per person, including lunch
Children ages 6–12: $50

If you are unable to attend, you can still be part of this meaningful tradition by purchasing raffle tickets:
$1 each or 6 for $5
for a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize and other wonderful items.

We would be honored to have you join us for this special afternoon of elegance, friendship, and generosity.

Sunday, October 25

🇭🇷 Croatian Adult Learning Program — Coming This October!

Have you always wanted to learn Croatian, improve what you already know, or simply feel more connected to the Croatian language and community?

We’re excited to be preparing a new Croatian Adult Learning Program at the Croatian Cultural Center of Chicago, with plans to begin in October 2026.

The program will combine weekly online Croatian language classes with in-person gatherings and workshops at the Croatian Cultural Center — giving participants an opportunity not only to learn the language, but also to practice speaking, experience Croatian culture, meet others, and become more connected with our community.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already speak some Croatian, you are welcome. Classes will be organized according to participants’ current knowledge and needs.

We are currently gathering interest so that we can organize the program, class levels, and schedule. Approximately 20 spots will be available for the initial program.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please take a minute to complete our short interest form. There is no commitment at this stage — we would simply love to hear from you and learn what you are looking for in a Croatian language program.

🇭🇷 Learn Croatian • Connect with Croatia • Discover the Culture
