UFest is a free two-day event that brings people from all walks of life together to celebrate Ukrainian culture, food, music, art, and dance. It's Western Canada's largest Ukrainian Festival!

Get a taste of Ukraine at the Food Fair and Kava Kafe, and keep the kids enterrtained with the Kozak Kids Zone, Teen Zone, Petting Zoo and Photo Wall. Join the workshops to make Pysanky, traditional bread, beaded necklaces, painted bags and learn social dancing.

Stop by the Vendor Village for handmade crafts, clothing and souvenirsm, along with Ukrainian art, community organizations, the Heritage Pavilion, and the Guest Culture Pavilion, this year featuring the Italian community, with calzone and gnocchi demos!

Of course all day long, you can check out the main stage with hundreds of non-stop musical and dance performers, like Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Company, Shumka School of Dance, Viter Ukrainian Folk Choir, and more...then polka the night away at UFest After Dark in the Korchma (Beer Gardens) with UB Band on Friday and Sloohai on Saturday.
