Celebrating the 28th Anniversary of
Ukraine's Independence

Foods & Baked Goods
A Celebration of Liberty and Unity
A Resplendent Outdoor Summer Concert
Marking Ukraine’s Independence, the Unity of her People
and Their Struggle for Freedom
The artists (dance troupes, musicians, singers and ensembles that have performed in previous years) have created a dynamic and integrated collaborative program.
Recent events in Ukraine, the Euromaidan Protest and Revolution of Dignity as well as the twilight struggle against unlawful Russian aggression, have forged a unified Ukrainian national identity, both in Ukraine and in the Diaspora. America’s support of Ukraine’s commitment to a self-determined democratic future - to life, liberty, freedom and justice – has created permanent bonds of friendship between the two nations. This year’s festival honors these special relationships and developments.
