United Moravian Societies
Upcoming Events
As a non-profit organization we hold several functions every year to raise
money so that we may continue to promote the Czech, Slovak and Moravian
traditions of our ancestors. On this page you will see those functions
sponsored by UMS along with scheduled performances which our singers or
dance groups will be participating in. You'll also see other events being held
by similar organizations so that we can build a calendar of Czech, Slovak and
Moravian functions that will hopefully create a stronger sense of community
for all to enjoy. Please check in with this page on a regular basis for updated
information on these events.
