No Ukrainian Festival This Year - But We’re Not Stopping!

Dear Friends,

Since 2022, when the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia began, we’ve been honored to bring you the Cincinnati Ukrainian Festival, an event we never thought would take off the way it did. From the start, it was our way to share Ukraine’s culture, resilience, and spirit with you. And Cincinnati responded with overwhelming warmth, generosity, and support, helping us raise humanitarian aid while celebrating heritage.

But as you know, the Festival is a massive effort, requiring months of planning and dedicated work. We are parents, business owners, students, and workers from all walks of life. This year, we simply couldn’t commit to the scale of preparation needed to give you the exceptional experience you deserve.

Instead, we decided to focus on smaller cultural masterclasses and events throughout the year, easier to organize, but still powerful in keeping Ukraine in your hearts. Check out the Facebook Events page and other social media outlets to join these gatherings and support Ukraine in meaningful ways.

We hope to return next year with a full-scale festival, continuing to showcase Ukraine’s vibrant culture and why its preservation matters – especially as the war still rages on.

Thank you for standing with us. Slava Ukraini!

Цього року Українського фестивалю не буде – але ми не зупиняємося!

Друзі,

З 2022 року, коли почалося повномасштабне вторгнення Росії в Україну, ми мали честь проводити Cincinnati Ukrainian Festival – подію, яку ми й не сподівалися так успішно започаткувати. Від самого початку це був наш спосіб поділитися з вами українською культурою, стійкістю та духом. І Цинциннаті відгукнувся з неймовірним теплом, щедрістю та підтримкою – допомагаючи нам збирати гуманітарну допомогу та святкувати спадщину України.

Але фестиваль – це величезна праця, що потребує місяців планування та відданості. Ми – батьки, підприємці, студенти, працівники з різних сфер – і цього року ми просто не змогли взяти на себе підготовку, яка б подарувала вам той чудовий захід, на який ви заслуговуєте.

Замість цього ми зосередимося на менших культурних майстер-класах та подіях протягом року – їх легше організувати, але вони так само допомагають тримати Україну у ваших серцях. Переглядайте Facebook Events та інші соціальні мережі, щоб приєднатися до цих заходів та підтримати Україну.

Ми сподіваємося повернутися наступного року з повномасштабним фестивалем, щоб і далі показувати, чому так важливо зберігати українську культуру – особливо зараз, коли війна ще триває.

Дякуємо, що ви з нами. Слава Україні!

🇺🇦 𝐖𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄 !
- that, after completing all required paperwork and having conducted necessary business operations and financial transactions, finally all selected organizations in Ukraine received their financial assistance and we already have their reports !
The funds we raised at the festival were decided to be allocated to three critical organizations making an impact on Ukrainian soil:

💛 $5,100 to 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 for tactical medical supplies vital to preserving the lives of military personnel in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.
💙$10,800 to "𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞" for protective anti-missile "domes" for radio electronic warfare systems.
💛 $13,460 to 𝐔𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐔𝐀 for equipment supporting nighttime rescue operations in the Zaporizhzhia region.

We are deeply grateful to each of you for helping save lives through your generous contributions. Together, we are making an impact. We will be posting about each of these organizations in more details soon. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

🗓️ A month has passed since our Ukrainian festival back in August, during which time we have been summarizing the results, settling accounts with vendors, and repaying debts. It has been truly a huge undertaking - from organizing to distributing the funds, but -

🤩 We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the incredible support of everyone who attended the Festival, we raised almost 💵 $32K 💵 ! Whether you enjoyed delicious foods and drinks, purchased souvenirs and raffle baskets, or participated in master classes, every contribution helped make this possible.

💰Through the festival's official channel we have received several requests from contacts and organizations in Ukraine, asking for help with vital items, from tactical medical supplies to protective devices and equipment. All requests were thoroughly reviewed and discussed by the organizing committee. Following a vote, three recipients have been selected to receive financial assistance. The funds are currently in the process of being transferred, and we will provide a detailed report on each recipient in the near future.

💙Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Slava Ukraini!

You might be wondering why the festival page has been quiet since the event last Saturday. It's simply because all the volunteers who participated are still recovering from the overwhelming experience and exhaustion. 🙂

It was such a beautiful event in our eyes, and we hope you really enjoyed it.

But hey... tomorrow we'll be getting the professional pictures to share with you all! Stay tuned, and enjoy the amateur photos for now. 😀
