The National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library in Cedar Rapids celebrates its 50th anniversary from Oct. 25 through Nov. 4 with “Czech and Slovak Echoes in the USA.” The festivities include a fashion show, hands-on baking workshops, and two performances of Anton Dvorak’s opera “Rusalka,” performed by a Czech cast.

Czech composers, musicians, singers and cooks will share their talents throughout the week. The concerts, in particular, are part of the broader Year of Czech Music throughout 2024.

Registration details for each event, including a few as far as Spillville and Chicago, are on the museum’s website.
