St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church

Re-live the fun at this year's Serb Fest, Northwest Indiana's best ethnic festival. If you missed this year's event, visit us next year, always the first weekend in August. This annual fund raiser will help build facilities for future festivals and events on the Church grounds in Merrillville. Serb Fest is staffed by dedicated volunteers of all ages. The first day is always kicked off with the Golf Classic, followed by a Serbian Buffet, and the evening is filled with music, dancing, and of course, more great Serbian food. This 3-day event includes a Big Cash Raffle with a $25,000 Grand Prize, many live bands, and a Cultural Exhibit. Serb Fest Menu includes BBQ Lamb, Cevaps, Raznici, Sarma, Chicken, Palachinke, Krofne, Nut Rolls, Strudels of many flavors, and the fabulous Serbian Bakery! See you next year!

You could learn a lot from your Baba, Baba Mim, that is!

Mim Bizic has created a most wonderful website for an entertaining, yet educational Serbian experience. You'll learn something every time you visit babamim.com. Milana (Mim) is the daughter of Milan Karlo, now deceased, the talented photographer of the Observer Newspaper for many years. You can now brag about your Baba, the Apple Computer Expert. She has plenty of knowledge and pride in our Serbian History and Culture, so pay attention! (There's going to be quiz.)

SERB FEST celebrates Serbian heritage and culture: three wonderful days of music, dancing, and delicious food. Highlights include a MLADA SRBADIJA reunion and Milan Opacich's retirement performance with DRINA. Join Milan for a narrated tour of this year's mini-museum, a display of musical instruments and historical artifacts.
