UKRAINIAN NEW WEST FEST
September 27, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm UTC+7
We come together to celebrate the music, food, and spirit of Ukraine.
Our mission goes deeply to our roots to inspire, delight, and connect across generations.The story of Ukrainians in Canada is one of resilience, community, and cultural pride. Over the past 130 years, five distinct waves of immigration have brought Ukrainians to Canadian soil — each wave shaped by different historical moments and challenges.
From the early pioneers of the late 1800s who farmed the Prairies, to post-war refugees rebuilding their lives, and to recent arrivals fleeing conflict and seeking safety — Ukrainian-Canadians have contributed immensely to the cultural, economic, and civic life of Canada.
At our festival, you’ll explore this journey through a special exhibit — celebrating the achievements, traditions, and local stories of Ukrainians in New Westminster and across British Columbia. Discover the people and organizations that built churches, founded cultural centers, taught dance and language, and inspired future generations.
Let’s celebrate together. Let’s remember. Let’s pass it on.
