Czech Village Association
In 1974, a group of Czech immigrants and descendants met to
discuss what could be done to preserve the area and the Czech
Culture. Several organizations were formed as a result of those
meetings and one of them was the Czech Village Association.
This was to be a group of merchants in the area who would work
to preserve the businesses and promote the commercial area.
Over the years the Association has also worked to preserve
Czech/Slovak Culture.
In that capacity, the Association not only puts on this celebration
but also does other activities such as a Svaty Mikulas celebration,
small business Saturday, Deck the District (Dec.) and other
events. They also own and maintain the parking lots and sidewalks in the village, decorate for holidays and events and maintain the village area so it is a pleasant experience for visitors.
All of the members of the Association are volunteers, and the association receives no money from the City or State. We depend
on advertisers and supporters, many who are listed in this booklet. Our shops and restaurants are open year round. If you have
enjoyed this event, PLEASE come back and shop at our Houby
Days supporters!
