Saskatoon 
Prepare for a day of Ukrainian cultural immersion at the Ukrainian Day in the Park event, held in Saskatoon’s picturesque Kiwanis Memorial Park.
Ukrainian Day in the Park
Since 2001, this annual outdoor festival has blossomed into the largest Ukrainian celebration of its kind in the province, drawing locals and visitors alike to experience a day brimming with cultural richness.
Set against the backdrop of Kiwanis Memorial Park, the event promises a memorable day for all ages. From dynamic stage performances and delectable food vendors to lively beer gardens and engaging children’s activities, the festival caters to a diverse audience. Whether you arrive with friends, family, or venture solo, an enjoyable time is guaranteed.
The Children’s Corner offers a hub of youthful excitement, featuring bounce castles, interactive crafts such as yarn doll and paper bird making, imaginative balloon animals, creative colouring sessions, and the chance for face painting transformations.
Yet, the excitement doesn’t stop there. Embrace your inner Kozak with spirited games like arm wrestling, weightlifting challenges, the classic potato sack race, spirited tug-of-war, push-up and squat competitions, towel-wringing races, and the always-amusing limbo dance.
