The Washington Ukrainian Festival was established in 2002 at the initiative of St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral. The festival became a riveting success from its very beginning, with throngs of visitors enjoying unusual foods, arts and crafts, and entertainment on the inviting Cathedral grounds. In a setting of more than six acres and a pastoral pond under the shade of the golden domes of the beautiful Cathedral, visitors to the festival are immersed in the beautiful and authentic Ukrainian mosaic. From the Cathedral to the Cultural Center to the grounds and the permanent outdoor stage featuring Ukrainian entertainment, to the food tents and vendors’ village, to the Kozak beer garden and grill, to unforgettable Ukrainian tortes and sweets, to the Ukrainian deli and an abundance of children’s treats and activities, the Washington Ukrainian Festival is so unique that it rightly attracts many thousands of visitors every year.

The festival is such an unusual, joyous event that the second weekend in September is now permanently calendared by visitors far and wide as a special day of Ukrainian celebration at the perimeter of our nation’s capital.

We look forward with pleasure to seeing you September 13, 14, 15, 2019!

With best wishes,

The Festival Committee
