Ukrainian Day in the Park 2025

🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Ukrainian Day in the Park was a resounding success, held on August 24, 2024, at the beautiful Ukrainian Pioneers Park. The festival celebrated Ukrainian culture and community, bringing together over 3,500 attendees for a day filled with vibrant performances, delicious food, and festive activities.

🎶 The heart of the festival was our MainStage, where attendees enjoyed four hours of captivating performances, showcasing the rich musical heritage of Ukraine. We were particularly honored to host the renowned Ukrainian band TNMK, whose electrifying performance drew a large crowd and received enthusiastic applause.
🏛️🍲 The festival featured a diverse array of food vendors offering traditional Ukrainian cuisine, from perogies to borscht, satisfying every palate. In addition, over 15 merchandise vendors showcased unique crafts, clothing, and souvenirs, allowing attendees to take a piece of Ukrainian culture home with them.
The Community Pavilion served as a gathering space for families and friends, fostering connections and conversations. Meanwhile, the Children’s Pavilion 👧🧒 was a hub of excitement with games, crafts, and activities designed to entertain and engage our younger visitors.
The specially designed photo zone provided a picturesque backdrop for families and friends to capture memories from the day, adding to the festival’s joyful atmosphere.
The popular beer gardens were a favorite among attendees, serving Ukrainian beer, and a place to relax and enjoy the festivities with friends. For those who attended, you likely found out that we sold out of Lvivske in the first 2 hours! We collected every last bottle of Lvivske in Calgary.
