September 13, 2024
October is Czech Heritage Month in Texas and we are gearing up to celebrate at our Annual Heritage Fest and Muziky — October 18-19, 2024.
HOW IT STARTED!
The original decree originated in Fayette County by: Members of the Fayette County Chapter of the Czech Heritage Society of Texas, representatives from the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center, and then the proclamation declaring October as “Czech Heritage Month” in Fayette County, by Judge Ed Janecka. Next, the The Texas Legislature declared the month of October as “Czech Heritage Month” in Texas.
HOW IT HAS GROWN!
During this month, many Czech festivals are held throughout the state of Texas. Texans of Czech ancestry take great pride in sharing with the rest of the state their contributions in the areas of art, music, literature, food, folklore and many other fine customs that are a part of Texas’ rich, diverse culture.
You are invited to join us in LaGrange at TCHCC on the Fayette County Fairgrounds!
There will be a Tractor Show — Car Show — Muziky — Vendors — (Vendor Application) — Great Family Fun — and — Sponsorship Opportunities! Don’t miss this once-a-year celebration!
