Celebrating Ukrainian culture and heritage

The Montreal Ukrainian Festival returns live for its biggest-ever event to celebrate the beauty of the Ukrainian culture, heritage and resilience.

We invite all Montrealers to Stand with Ukraine and help raise awareness and funds in support of the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

You will also have the opportunity to learn much more about our Ukrainian history, traditions and up-to-date information on Ukraine’s defence of democracy.

As always, the entertainment includes some of the best talent that Ukraine has to offer. Headlining the event will be rock band Druha Rika, flying in from Zhytomyr, Ukraine, to entertain you. The exciting 2022 line-up will include over 200 talented performers, singers and dancers who will leave you in awe, showcasing the beauty and originality of the Ukrainian arts.

For connoisseurs of fine refreshments, the beer garden will be serving the limited-edition Volya (“Freedom”) beer brewed right here in Montreal. You can also sample other Ukrainian imported beverages. Plus, top Cirka Distilleries mixologist Gizmo Sirois will be on-site to dazzle you with some great cocktail-making exhibitions.
