HRVATSKA FEŠTA 2011

Once again it's that time of year to celebrate the contribution of the Australian Croatian community to the local region with the three day extravaganza that is "Hrvatska Fešta 2011".  Whilst all those people who have attended the 2009 and 2010 Fešta's will testify, this really is a special event not to be missed.  With regular favourites Major Minor and HFS Croatia being joined by new Sydney band Metak and Croatian Folkloric Ensemble "Vukovar", Hrvatska Fešta 2011 looks set to be the biggest Fešta yet.  Key events of the festa include:

Fešta Launch Party - Friday 18 March 2011 (7pm-2am)

This year’s Fešta Launch Party will not only feature Australia's most popular Australian Croatian Band - Major Minor, but will also mark the Canberra debut of new Sydney Band Metak.  First band will start the partying from 8.30pm.  Entry remains unchanged at only $20.  Whilst the party is

targeted at over 18s, all those under 18 can attend if they are in the company of a responsible adult (ie over 25).

 

As always, for those that wish to start the night early with a great feed, the ever popular Bistro will be open from 6pm.

Fešta Dinner Dance (AKA Zabava) - Saturday 19 March 2011 (7pm-2am)

The Fešta Zabava really has the potential this year to be one of the most talked about Zabave in the Club's modern history.   Not only will there be a superb four course meal, but Major Minor will back up again to entertain guests with their unique sound and HFS Croatia will not doubt wow diners with their kolo performances.  In a special treat CFE Vukovar from Sydney will also perform various kolos that so impressed audiences in Croatia during their very successful 2005 tour.

Tickets are only $50 per person ($15 for those aged 5-12).  Tickets can be purchased by contacting the Club Wed-Sat after 12.30pm on 02 6248 8782.  Just a reminder payment is required to secure your place.

HNK Hope Cup - As part of the Fešta, Croatia Deakin and the O'Connor Knights will face off in the inaugural HNK Hope Cup at 2pm at the ANU Synthetic pitch, in recognition of the first Croatian team to play in Canberra.   The winner will be presented the Cup at the Fešta Zabava.

Family Day - Sunday 20 March 2011 (from 12.30pm)

A feature of previous Fešta ‘s has been the Sunday Family Day (AKA recovery party).  This year’s family day will be no different with traditional Croatian food available for lunch, Croatian products available for purchase, the Croatian Ethnic School pancake stall, further kolo performances by HFS Croatia, the return of the Karlovacko Beer Garden featuring Maks the Mega Fridge and heaps of activities for the kids including jumping castle, face paintingand much more.
