The Virginia Czech Slovak Folklife Festival celebrates the cultural heritage of hundreds immigrant families from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, and other Eastern European countries who chose to build their lives in Prince George County during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These families established farms, businesses, churches and communities, preserving their traditions while becoming Americans.

Through the festival’s music, dance, crafts, costume, the museum’s permanent Czech and Slovak gallery, and authentic food, visitors may explore cultural traditions, agricultural history, family ancestry, and the lasting impact of this community on the region.

The event is free; the only cost to visitors is food and drink. Free parking is available and there is transportation from parking areas to the festival grounds.

The Prince George County Regional Heritage Center is located at 6406 Courthouse Road, Prince George, VA 23875.
