Discover
Ukrainian culture in Canada and share the Ukrainian
spirit at North America’s Largest Ukrainian Street
Festival. This is your opportunity to experience
Ukrainian culture and hospitality at its best. As always
there will be non-stop entertainment with Ukrainian
performers from the Greater Toronto Area, Canada, the
USA and Ukraine which will include dancers, vocalists
and musicians. Don’t miss the YOUTH segment on the grand
stage at Jane Street! And if you wish – join the dancing
at the evening ZABAVA/Street Dance on both Friday and
Saturday.
You will find
vendor kiosks: delicious authentic Ukrainian food and
beverages, beautiful souvenirs, interactive pavilions,
and more. This year you can also enjoy SIDEWALK SALE
shopping at the local Bloor West Village businesses.
There is a midway for kids and youth. Take in the
colourful parade on Saturday morning at 11am. A new
attraction this year is the ART SHOW and SALE organized
by the Collective of Canadian Ukrainian Artists.
The Toronto
Ukrainian Festival continues to be one of the most
anticipated events of the season, and especially so this
year as it presents Ukraine’s Music Sensation MAD HEADS
XL in the Bloor West Village on Saturday night September
18th, 2010 (see www.madheads.kiev.ua). “Thanks to the
generous support of the Ukrainian Credit Union, Aerosvit
Airlines and Four Points Sheraton Hotel by the
Lakeshore, we are delighted to present one of Europe’s
most popular bands”, says Jurij Klufas, Festival
chairman. Since 2004 MAD HEADS XL has unleashed a wild
rock’n’roll drive enriched with new musical influences,
among them elements of ska, reggae and Ukrainian folk.
The musicians’ great live performances turn any concert
into an unforgettable show, making the audience part of
it whether it’s a small club or a huge open air event.
