UCC Regina Branch to Host First Ukrainian Fall Fest

May 7, 2010 -- UCC Regina Branch is hosting its first outdoor festival on Saturday, September 11, 2010. The event aims to celebrate Ukrainian culture and recognize its people's contributions to Canadian society at all levels. By providing a free event that is open to the public, the Planning Committee anticipates that relationships both among and between our Ukrainian Canadian community and the community at large will be furthered.

To date, the capital city of our province has not had a festival of this scope or nature. As such, it seems most fitting that the event shall take place on the grounds surrounding the Legislature Building in Wascana Park, Regina. Varied forms of local entertainment are being planned, as well as cultural activities and demonstrations throughout the day. Attendees should bring lawn chairs for their seating comfort at the stage and teamsport areas. The Ukrainian palate shall be satisfied with cultural festival food and a beverage gardens (food, beverage, and souvenir items are available for purchase).

In addition to these exciting entertaining activities and attractions, our event intends to raise awareness of UCC-RB, (which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year), as well as the contributions of its Member Organizations, currently totalling 19 organizations, each with their own purpose, identity, and service. We have many organizations and individuals that have contributed and continue to make Regina, Saskatchewan, and Canada, a great place for our Ukrainian community to call home. Special guests associated with the Regina/area community are being invited to attend, as are the local media.

The event seeks to connect Regina and area residents with the organizations and their activities that currently exist. Organizational displays and members will be available.

More information shall be posted on the Regina Branch and UCC-SPC websites as it becomes available.
