JUNE 2 - 3, 2018 UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL programme guide

CALGARYUKRAINIANFESTIVAL.CA CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL 2018!

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Calgary Ukrainian Festival Foundation I would like to welcome you to the NINTH Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival! Only one year away from a full decade of Festival activities! The momentum continues this year with an entirely new stage show format with even more performers than last. Have a look around at our collection of Ukrainian vendors from across the country. They bring everything from the latest Ukrainian European fashion trends to collectible “hard to find” Ukrainian artistry. Keep looking around the pavilion and take note of our new bar modeled after an 18th century with thatch roofing. Imagine what it was like to raise a family in such a simple structure! Sitting at “Baba’s” kitchen table is a treat like nothing else. Enjoying the simplicity and tasteful helpings of traditional hand-made perogies and cabbage rolls. Nothing “store bought” on our Festival food plates. Finally, our Festival After-Hours event returns Saturday evening at 9:00pm. Open to all. Our performers will be out of their stage costumes and back into street clothes. Come spend the evening with those you saw on stage and meet a new friend. This year our live Ukrainian Zabava Band from , Steppe, will play everything from the fastest , to the coziest . But don’t leave before 10:30pm because around that time you will witness the infamous Canadian Ukrainian tradition of the “Kolomyka”. The chance for ALL to display the best they have in Ukrainian solos. Not to worry, tables will still be there to enjoy the food, and all the finest in Ukrainian beer and vodka. A true Ukrainian style “beer gardens”, but right here in Calgary. You must live it to know what others speak about it! There are 9 notable individuals that devote their time, talent and expertise to bring you everything you see at our Festival. I am honored to introduce to you our Board of Directors:

All of this in the search for a better life for their families in a new world. Today we honor and commemorate their passion WELCOME! and endurance by continuing to practice all the customs and traditions that make up our Ukrainian heritage.

HOPAK Yalenka Ukrainian Dancers Central

OPAK is the National Dance of Ukraine. In the early 1600’s, it was originally danced as a celebration of the MEN returning from battle. The dance was improvised and was accompanied by musicians who followed the pace of the dancers, to encourage self expression and release (physical and emotional) of the returning . Over time, the dance evolved to include 202-942 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R2W 3P4 young boys and girls, as well as women. This mixed gender version became superior and 204-944-9128 Toll Free 1-866-524-5314 is the, now choreographed, dance you see today.
