Saskatchewan’s proud multicultural heritage is celebrated year-round, and spring is the time of year when one particular type of celebration happens all across the province.
DancersUkrainian festivals and concerts are festive, high-energy events that feature nimble dancers, colourful costumes, great traditional music, and of course, fantastic Ukrainian food. Groups and individual dancers compete for trophies in dance festivals, or demonstrate particular dances in showcases. Festivals also often include arts and crafts sales, bands, choirs and more.
