Freedom Hill County Park in Macomb County is well known for welcoming various wonderful ethnic festivals to the area, and this year is no different.  For more than 20 years, the Polish Festival and Festa Italiana have been enjoyed by thousands of Macomb County residents as well as others from far away.

This year, Freedom Hill County Park welcomes a new festival.  The West Bosnian Krajiski Teferic is in its 11th year, but new to Sterling Heights.  The festival is a gathering of natives who originated in the western segment of Bosnia-Herzegovina but now reside in various areas throughout North America.  The festival serves as a reminder of the mass exodus of West Bosnians who left their homeland in 1994 and 1995. 

Bosnian heritage will be celebrated with musical performances and folklore performances by Bosnian dance ensembles representing many locations from around the United States.  There will be traditional Bosnian food to enjoy, a soccer tournament, and many activities for the kids.

The festival will run on Saturday, August 23rd from noon until 11:00 pm.  Admission is free.  Freedom Hill Park is located in Sterling Heights on Metropolitan Parkway, east of Schoenherr, in Macomb County.  Visit freedomhillcountypark.com for more information about this and other fun events still going on this summer season.
