The Ukrainian Folk Festival 2024 will be held at the nonprofit Ukrainian American Sport Center – Tryzub (www.tryzub.org), County Line and Lower State roads, Horsham, from noon to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25.
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, power, rhythm and strength of “HOPAK” – “the world’s most exciting ethnic dance,” and every “Kolomiyka” (polka) and soulful folk song in between, experience the Ukrainian Folk Festival 2024, celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the ancestral homeland’s independence.
Enjoy an outdoor summer stage concert and show from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., live orchestra music from 5 to 8 p.m., traditional Ukrainian foods and baked goods, BBQ pit, standard picnic fare, vendors’ grove, Ukrainian arts and crafts displays and bazaar, cool refreshments, live reenactments from Living Ukrainian History exhibitors and Ukrainian hospitality.
Admission at the gate only is $15, with $2 of each paid admission to be donated to humanitarian relief of war victims in Ukraine. Youth 15 and under are admitted for free; parking is free.
