About Us
As part of Calgary’s rich multicultural mosaic, our goal at the Calgary Ukrainian Festival is to provide Calgarians with vibrant and colourful memories of traditional Ukrainian song and dance, an appreciation for its arts and costumes, and a taste for its delicious cuisine!
We host our festival in the spirit of community and camaraderie, and with deep respect to the many Ukrainian immigrants who settled across Canada more than 125 years ago.
We honour their memory by preserving our cultural heritage and continuing the many customs and traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next.
May their hard work, dreams, aspirations and determination to start a better life for their families in Canada always be remembered.

having experience travelling to Ukraine itself!
