ABOUT US \ O NAMA

Croatian Folklore Ensemble Hrvatsko Prelo was founded in 1977 as the parish group of Holy Trinity Croatian Roman Catholic Church in Oakville, Ontario. Today’s group has over 200 registered performers ranging in age from 5 to 29 years old.

Our mission is to preserve the Croatian cultrual heritage traditions through music & dance, while supporting our parish.

For over 45 years, our not-for-profit organization has given many hundreds of children the opportunity to explore and share their cultural heritage through music and dance, with performances across Canada, USA, South America, and Europe.
