Romanian Flavors at Red Lodge
is an annual event organized by RCCAC since 2005 (except in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic restrictions) in different presentations, shapes, and names, showing different Romanian traditional and cultural components.
It is a time when people can get together outside to learn from another ethnic group, about their cuisine, traditional music, folklore, costumes, and legends, also a fantastic opportunity for the people from the Romanian group to pass all the knowledge to their next generations.
