On Sunday, August 27, you can help celebrate the 32nd Anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence and experience the vibrant culture of a people that fights for freedom at the 2023 Ukrainian Folk Festival.

The festival will take place from 12:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Ukrainian American Sport Center – Tryzub in Horsham.

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 brilliant “Kolomiyka” (polka) and soulful folk song in between, come experience it all.

Enjoy an outdoor summer stage concert and show (1:30 to 4:30 PM), live orchestra music (5:00 – 8:00 PM), traditional Ukrainian foods and baked goods, BBQ pit, standard picnic fare, vendors’ grove, Ukrainian arts and crafts displays and bazaar, cool refreshments, Living Exhibitors of Ukrainian history and Ukrainian hospitality.

“Celebrate Liberty and Unity”

Between 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., there will be an outdoor summer marking Ukraine’s Independence. The artists (dance troupes, musicians, singers and ensembles that have performed previously) have created a dynamic and integrated collaborative program that will excite the senses.

Featured performers include Ukrainian superstar singer-songwriter Iryna Lonchyna, Voloshky Ukrainian Dance Ensemble and Carpathia Folk Dance Ensemble.

Admission (Open to General Public – Tickets at Gate Only): $15 ($2 of each paid admission will be donated to Humanitarian Relief of Victims of War in Ukraine); Kids < 15 Free; Free Parking): Info: 267.664.3857, info@tryzub.org, or www.tryzub.org.
