Sept. 17-19 will be a big weekend for the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library in Cedar Rapids.
The fun kicks off on Friday with the return of Brewnost, back in person after a virtual 2020, and moved outside to accommodate distancing. Taste beers from around the world matched to tasty food, enjoy music, and also a silent auction, where bidding is live right now at https://ncsml.org/ncsml-events/brewnost/.
On Saturday, it’s the 25th anniversary (also delayed by a year) of the occasion when the presidents of the U.S., The Czech Republic, and the Slovak Republic all gathered do dedicate the new building. A parade of kroje will be hosted by Helene Cincebeaux in celebration of the exhibit “Crowning Glory: A Feast of Slovak & Moravian Headdresses,” a stunning collection of Czech & Slovak headwear. A dinner that night will include a cocktail hour concert and ribbon cutting for the the new exhibit “Treasures of Slovakia.”
