Sacramento Russian Festival

Guests are able to get to know the parish community of Holy Ascension Russian Orthodox Church. It is possible to view the beautiful interior of the church building. If you have any questions about the church, our parish, or Orthodoxy in general, there will be two church tours at 2:05pm and 3:35pm. The festival is a fundraising event that helps our community be able to function and bring programs to our families.

The proceeds from our past festivals have helped renovate our parish buildings, most recently gilding our beautiful gold domes, and it will be possible to see these results at this year’s festival!

Come and enjoy Russian food, art, culture, and hospitality! The event features both indoor and outdoor dining, with its famous Russian barbecue or Shashlik, a wine garden, and a coffee bar. At the coffee bar you can cool down with an iced latte and the kids can enjoy cotton candy and other yummy treats!

There will be live music and performances showcasing local Russian talent. Original art both for sale and on display, and a souvenir stand selling fantastic merchandise all the way from Russia!
