Vyshyvanka Day — the Day of the Ukrainian Embroidered Shirt — is celebrated every year on the third Thursday of May. The traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt (vyshyvanka) is regarded as a talisman that protects against the misfortunes of life. It symbolizes beauty, good health, and a happy destiny. This important folkloric element — one that also resonates in Czech culture — offers a unique glimpse into the soul of the Ukrainian people. Accompanied by music, diverse cuisine, and good drinks, this day promises, as always, to be a vibrant and joyful experience. Entry to this unique culinary celebration is voluntary, and all proceeds will support a project from within the Ukrainian community. Vyshyvanka Day is a celebration of Ukrainian traditions, culture, and history — a time when Ukrainians around the world wear their embroidered shirts with pride and honor their roots. program Ukrainian Cuisine — Pelmeni, varenyky, sweet buns, and many other delights Craft Market with handmade artisan goods Traditional Folklore and Live Music Voluntary Admission
