On the occasion of the Hungarian State Foundation Day, the Ottawa Hungarian Community Centre is organizing a Hungarian Family Day.

Street food festival, live music, art exposition.

Taste world-famous traditional Hungarian food specialties, get to know our culture and the Hungarian community from Ottawa, live Hungarian folk music!

The works of two artists, painter István Mészáros and sculptor Béla Simó, can be viewed and purchased by our guests.

Béla Simó, a passionat sculptor, sees his art as “imprints of humanist spirituality, tinged with the sacred, a way of defining his relationship to a space, real or imagined, and to time, to what precedes and follows us”. He uses a lot of upward spirals, ubiquitous in the structures of the universe, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. For Béla, they are the best symbols of life and remind us that they are found both in motion and in completion. The egg and seed are other oviod motifs, spaces in which life circulates. They represent birth, oneness and centre.

The musical compilation is the work of Edit Palencsár.
Piano performers:
– Edit Palencsár (Bach, Bertini and Schubert)
– Lucas Villneuve
– Tünde Frei

Enthusiastic and lovely people are waiting for you to join!

Pre-order is not possible.
Only cash and e-Transfer payments accepted!
