We are excited to announce that the annual Ukrainian Day Festival is back this summer! Mark your calendars and join us for a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence and Ukrainian Day on August 22, 2021. This year, we are presenting a festival that will involve a diverse online program, self-guided components and an outdoor community zabava.

Ми раді повідомити вам, що Український День повертається цього літа! Відмічайте у своєму календарі, та приєднуйтесь до нашого відзначення 30-ї річниці незалежності України та святкування Фестивалю Українського Дня, 22 червня 2021 року. Цього року, ми презентуємо змішане свято, яке включатиме різноманітну онлайн програму, секції які ви зможете розглянути самостійно, та навіть живий концерт.

The virtual component of the festival will feature multiple segments and contributions from various groups in the Ukrainian community, such as our schools, youth groups, choirs, theatres, and dance ensembles in Alberta. This will include recorded original video performances and educational resources that showcase Ukraine’s quest for independence.
