Lipa Park

Lipa Park We are a Slovenian Club located in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula featuring a hall/banquet center Catharines Folk Arts Festival in May.

Established on July 1, 1967, Lipa Park became the new cultural home to Slovenians in the Niagara region. Slovenia is a beautiful and geographically diverse country in central Europe, gaining independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991. Bordering Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia, this tiny country of only two million encompasses both Alpine and Meiterranean climates. Lipa Park is situated on

13 acres of wooded and manicured grounds, and includes a 350-seat, fully air conditioned hall, and a large outdoor pavilion. The hall and grounds can be rented for weddings, showers, anniversaries, and life's great celebrations, and are also uniquely suited for corporate events and banquets. The home-style/family-style food is renowned, and flexible menus are available. Lipa Park hosts several events throughout the year that are open to the public, and hosts one of the most lively Open Houses during the St. For current events, see the listing in the "Notes" tab, or go to www.lipapark.ca/events

A huge thank you to all the beautiful volunteers and in particular the young group from St Alfred’s Church who showed up yesterday for our spring cleanup!

Despite it setback of losing power for an hour when a tree landed on the main power line, the ladies in ghd kitchen preserved and improvised by firing up some battery powered Christmas lights to continue prepping lunch.
Meanwhile our pit masters Frank and Zdravko had to take the pig off the coals for a while as the new single pig pit doesn’t have a manual override to keep it spinning during an outage.

All and all we got everything done that needed to happen and everyone enjoyed a delicious home cooked Slovenian meal to celebrate.

Thank you again for all of your hard work 🙏.

Our volunteers truly are the heartbeat of Lipa Park!!
