DAUPHIN — From rhythmic dances to the aroma of traditional cuisine, the 60th anniversary of Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival was a “dazzling celebration of heritage and resilience” over the weekend at the historic Selo Ukraina site just south of Dauphin.
Spanning three days, the landmark event featured live entertainment on three stages, cultural exhibitions, an amateur talent competition and activities for all ages, drawing crowds from across Canada and even the United States.
Attendees were immersed in Ukrainian culture through music, food folklore and vibrant costumes — a fitting tribute to the festival’s six-decade legacy, secretary Livia Johnson told the Sun at the site on Sunday.
