Organizers for Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival are sad to announce the postponement of this year’s event.

It would have been the 55th Anniversary of the big celebration of Ukrainian culture.

Festival president Kayla Gillis says the Board of Directors decided the postponement was in the best interest of the public, the entertainers, and for all the patrons.

“It’s sad that we won’t be able to celebrate the Ukrainian culture. We’re hoping everyone still thinks of the August long weekend as a chance to party in your backyard and celebrate the Ukrainian culture,” Gillis says.

The festival president says ticket holders will be contacted in the coming weeks.

The festival has been rescheduled to next year, on July 31st, August 1st, and August 2nd.

“I think next year is going to be a heck of a party,” Gillis said.

More information will be available in the coming weeks at Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival website.
