Festivals

Each year, Ukrainians of Toronto gather at festivals to celebrate Ukrainian culture and heritage. These festivals consist of a multitude of aspects of Ukrainian culture that we are proud to celebrate: music, dance, food, art, and most importantly - the community. These festivals serve to exhibit educational and entertaining aspects of the culture and engage more members, both from inside and outside of the community, to participate in and appreciate the history and contributions of Ukrainians.

Toronto Ukrainian Festival, the biggest Ukrainian Festival of North America, is a celebration of the contributions of Ukrainian people and culture. The festival invites local business and artists to perform in festivities and parades and has gathered crowds of over 500,000 people in its 25 years of hosting the festival.

Ukrainian Heritage Day has been hosted by St. Vladimir Institute on September 7th since 2011. Though this day is celebrated by many across the province, there is an official flag raising in Queen’s Park as well as celebrations honouring Ukrainian culture.
