Exciting, spectacular, dazzling, breathtaking, exhilarating, spirited, soulful, enchanting, captivating, and intriguing – modest words which describe but by no means capture the essence of Ukrainian folk art, music, and dance.  From the rich color and deep symbolism of the delicate “pysanka” (Ukrainian Easter Egg) to the thunderous, climatic, power, rhythm and strength of “HOPAK” – the world’s most exciting ethnic dance, and every brilliant “Kolomiyka” (polka) and soulful folk song in between, we invite you to experience the SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL UKRAINIAN FOLK FESTIVAL, celebrating the anniversary of our ancestral homeland’s independence. Enjoy a festival stage show, a public dance, Ukrainian foods and baked goods, kid’s fun area, and Ukrainian hospitality.

Enjoy the SYZOKRYLI UKRAINIAN FOLK DANCE ENSEMBLE (www.syzokryli.com/index.htm) ( New York City);   THE VOLOSHKY UKRAINIAN DANCE ENSEMBLE (www.voloshky.com)  (Philadelphia); THE LUNA BAND (www.lunaband.com) (New Jersey); and SVITANYA EASTERN EUROPEAN WOMEN’S VOCAL ENSEMBLE (www.Svitanya.org ). A Ukrainian Public Dance (Zabava) to live Ukrainian polka, ballroom, traditional and modern music by the LUNA BAND will follow the stage show. Ukrainian ethnic foods, baked goods, standard picnic fare and cool refreshments will be plentiful. Also enjoy a children’s fun area and an folk arts and crafts bazaar. 215.362.5331; website: www.tryzub.org.
