UKRAINIAN DAYS FESTIVAL
T he Ukrainian Days Festival was originally established as a means to bring the Chicago Ukrainian community together to celebrate their culture and traditions at a time, when it was forbidden in Soviet ruled Ukraine. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the Festival became a celebration of Ukraine's freedom and coincides with Independence Day on August 24th.
T he Ukrainian Days Festival has helped promote Ukrainian culture by providing ethnic dance groups and musical groups as well as food and other vendors. The festival also supports local Chicago businesses in selling their products to the community.
