Summer festival spotlight: Kolacky Days
Minnesota Now is continuing our summer festival spotlight series by heading south of the Twin Cities to the town of Montgomery in Le Sueur County.
This week marks the 90th anniversary of the town’s weeklong festival, Kolacky Days. Montgomery has a strong Czech background and Kolackys are a Czech pastry that is served at the festival. Looking at the list of events, it seems like they have combined five festivals into one.
Organizer Maureen Frankek joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to explain.
