Slovenian history, culture and cuisine festival Oct. 4 includes Zaverl paintings

The St. Louis County Historical Society and the Slovenian Union of America are co-sponsoring an event that offers a rare and unique opportunity for you to learn about Slovenia and the thousands of its citizens who immigrated to Northern Minnesota in the late 1880s and early 1900s.

They came in search of a better life and to work in our forestry and iron mining industries. They brought with them their music, cuisine, and customs, enriching Minnesota’s diverse culture.

The festival is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4 at the Depot in Duluth, with the program commencing at 10 a.m. The festival is free of charge and open to the public. Attendees can expect informative presentations on Slovenian history and culture.
