Best of Five Mile Creek Spring 2008 Greenway Festival!

Russian Festival

The first weekend in November the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in Brookside holds the Russian Food Festival.  Begun in 1981, the event increases in attendance each year.  St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church welcomes you to its annual Food Festival held the first full weekend in November of each year. Tours of the temple are available.

The ladies of the Sisterhood of St. Olga have prepared the food and pastries from recipes handed down from relatives and friends who immigrated to Brookside from Western Ukraine and what is now known as Slovakia. Be sure to visit our Russian Beriozka Store for imported gifts and souvenirs.
Take-out or eat in.
