At the celebration, which takes place in Houston in September of each year, the Polish, Ukrainian, Croatian, and Czech communities share food, dancing, and cultural exhibits. Branch 118 had a vendor booth at the festival, where members sold Branch 118 cookbooks, handmade crafts, and pysanka supplies. Branch 118 also collected $550 for Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine.
