A Romanian Festival will take place on the weekend of September 27-29 at St. Andrew Romanian Orthodox Church, located at 9111 River Rd, Potomac, MD 20854.
“During this weekend, the experience of Romanian tradition and culture will be at its best! Hundreds of volunteers are eagerly waiting for you and will greet you with the traditional “Bine ati venit!/Welcome!” and “Pofta Buna!/Enjoy your meal!”.
The Romanian culinary tradition will be at a high level as usual; your taste will be delighted by the mititei (romanian skinless sausages), lamb pastrami and the traditional Romanian “sarmale” (stuffed cabbage with different kind of meats), among others; Romanian drinks will also be available and the homemade pastries, prepared with a lot of love by our ladies, will crown your culinary experience. In parallel, the eyes will be delighted by the handicraft products present at the festival, by the beauty of the popular costumes displayed with much love by the festival guests. Hearing the folk music, will connect you with the millennial musical tradition of Romania. And, above all, this will be fulfilled in spiritual realms through the deeper understanding of Romanian Orthodox spirituality, which you are welcome to understand and embrace!
Therefore, we invite you to join us! Your presence will honor us and will bring to this edition of the Romanian Festival the uniqueness that only you, the supporters and guests of the Romanian festival, can give.”
Entrance to the festival is free, but the church is accepting and encouraging donations for the construction of the “Moldovita la Washington DC” church.
