Вітаємо! Welcome to Folklorama Festival's Ukraine Kyiv Pavilion
CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST
The Ukraine-Kyiv pavilion is proud to showcase the rich and vibrant traditions of Ukrainian Christmas. Ukraine has a long history of celebrating Christmas, which is deeply rooted in the country's culture and heritage. “Rizdvo”, is a special occasion that brings families and communities together in a spirit of joy and camaraderie. Learn about the traditions associated with the holiday, including the unique visit of St. Nicholas, the preparation of a traditional 12-dish dinner, the singing of carols and more. Generosity being a cornerstone custom of the holiday, our pavilion proceeds will be used to support displaced Ukrainians relocating to Manitoba.
About Our Pavillon
Ukraine-Kyiv Pavilion has been part of Folklorama since the beginning of the festival in 1970. Each year, the Pavilion continues to contribute to Folklorama’s goals of celebrating diversity and promoting cultural understanding.
Ukraine-Kyiv Pavilion’s sponsoring organization is the Ukrainian Canadian Congress Manitoba Provincial Council. Each year the Ukraine-Kyiv Pavilion organizing team/committee executes a new and vibrant experience for pavilion guests. This is accomplished by constantly changing themes with which we focus on showcasing, cuisine, music, cultural displays, and an educational component of the pavilion for guests to experience. Creating a new and different pavilion guest experience from year to year, results in our pavilion being consistently one of the largest and most popular Folklorama pavilions, with an average attendance of over 10,000 guests annually.
The Pavilion is extremely grateful for the support that it receives from both individuals and organizations within the Ukrainian community.
