The main purpose of the Romanian Heritage Festival

is to celebrate, preserve and promote

the Romanian heritage, culture and traditions

in the Chicago metropolitan area.

.

Secondarily, the purpose of this annual event is

to raise funds and assist the needs of our community projects, such as:

the Romanian Tribune Newspaper and of the Romanian Heritage Center in Niles,

which is also home of the Romanian Library and Cultural Center.

* * * *

The Romanian Heritage Center is managed and administered

by the Romanian-American Network Inc.

It features a Romanian Village Exhibit,

a Romanian Library and Cultural Center,

and a Romanian Business & Conference Center.

The "Romanian Village Exhibit" with a unique and authentic  "Sezatoare",

in the Romanian folklore traditions is a setting used by villagers

when getting together to celebrate and have fun.

The "sezatoare" is traditionally a special heart-to-heart home-felt cultural setting.

as well as for the "Romanian Book Club".

It also hosted the annual meetings of the North American Romanian Press Association,

both in 2010 and 2011.
