On Saturday evening, Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival hosted the unveiling of the largest Ukrainian flag in Canada, outside of McKenzie Middle School in Dauphin.
Many people helped unfurl this huge flag, which is 25 by 16 meters.
Following this event, Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival hosted the Zabava Street Party.
This year’s Zabava was smaller than it has been in the past, just taking up part of 3rd avenue NE, and some of Co-op’s parking lot, but it was well attended, as the event was completely sold out.
Nick Yakimishen, Vice President of Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival was happy with the turnout.
“We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We started planning this and the restrictions were 1,500 people outdoors, and then it’s 500, so what do we do? We had to end up making it a ticketed event, but it’s still an absolutely amazing turnout. We couldn’t have asked for better.”
There were food vendors, live music, and street performers at this event.
