Simply Slavic

Simply Slavic Our mission is to educate the large number of local Slavic descendants and the greater Youngstown community about Slavic heritage.

Save the dates for the 15th anniversary of our summer festival: Friday, June 26 - Sunday, June 28. The Mahoning Valley has a proud ethnic heritage. Simply Slavic’s mission is dedicated to educating both the large number of local Slavic descendents and the Greater Youngstown community-at-large about Slavic heritage. We showcase the rich traditions of Slavic culture by celebrating the food, music, d

ance and customs of the various Slavic ethnicities which are represented in our metropolitan area. We present information regarding the European nations from which our beloved ancestors arrived. By expanding the community’s knowledge through the experience of celebrating Slavic culture, we hope to both honor our ancestors and enrich the lives of all who are exposed.
