Ukrainian Folk Festival Sunday In Horsham: What To Know

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — Fresh off this past weekend's Korean festival, the township will now set its sights on celebrating another ethnicity.

The annual Ukrainian Folk Festival and Outdoor Concert takes place on Sunday from Noon to 8 p.m. at the Ukrainian American Sport Center at County Line and Lower State Roads.

The event pays tribute to the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence.

Admission (Open to General Public — at Gate Only) is $20. Children under the age of 15 are free.

A portion of each paid admission is donated for the relief of war victims in Ukraine.

The festival features Ukrainian folk music, dance, food and arts and crafts.

From the rich color and deep symbolism of the delicate “pysanka” (Ukrainian Easter Egg) to the thunderous, power, rhythm and strength of “HOPAK” — the world’s most exciting ethnic dance, and every brilliant “Kolomiyka” (polka) and soulful folk song in between, will be experienced at the festival.

There will be an outdoor summer stage concert and show (1:30 to 4:30 p.m.), live orchestra music (5-8 p.m.), traditional Ukrainian foods and baked goods, a BBQ pit, standard picnic fare, vendors’ grove, Ukrainian arts and crafts displays and bazaar, cool refreshments, live reenactments from Living Ukrainian History Exhibitors and Ukrainian hospitality.
