A huge Thank You to those who attended, and to those who could not come but supported the Eszterlánc 40th Anniversary Gala on 11 November 2017, where we presented a collage of our past, present and future.

The Gala had Eva Kish, the founder of Eszterlánc as Guest of Honor. As part of the show, alumni and current members of Eszterlánc, as well the Mazsola children danced together, demonstrating the continuity of Hungarian folk traditions.

Eszterlánc Hungarian Folk Dance Ensemble is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year. Mazsola, our children’s dance ensemble, is celebrating its 10th Anniversary.

Eszterlánc is a highly visible and tangible representation of Hungarian folk culture. Through dance, costume, and music, the ensemble brings the Hungarian experience to life. Mazsola, our childrens’ folk dance ensemble, carries this tradition to our community’s children as well.

Please join us on Saturday, November 11 from 3:00pm-6:00pm as we present a collage of our past, present and future. Doors will open at 2:00pm and we will also have a closing reception from 6:00pm-7:00pm.
The schedule, in addition to two Acts and an intermission, will include time to purchase commemorative videos & t-shirts as well as Eszterlánc water bottles, a variety of beverages, snacks and homemade pastries so please bring cash or checks.
