Welcome to our festival

2024 marks the ninth year since the Northwest Ukrainian International Festival first took place. Since its inception, this annual event has become a highlight not only for the Ukrainian community but also for the Washington State community at large.

2024 is another challenging year for Ukrainians and people of goodwill. The ongoing war, sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, continues to bring devastation. Despite massive rocket attacks and the loss of countless innocent lives, Ukrainians are fighting back with remarkable courage.

The sacrifice is immense, but Ukraine remains steadfast in protecting its people, values, principles, and land. Some may argue that this is not the time for a festival during such a tragic period, but when is it ever not the right time to share values, raise awareness of Ukraine’s struggle, build bridges with other communities, and pray for protection from evil?

We hope this festival will be a celebration of Ukraine’s victory. But even if the fight continues, it is still a good reason to come together, celebrate the good we have had and will continue to have, and honor the heroes who are fighting for our future.

Ukraine has a rich history that has brought many wonderful traditions to our families, some of which we would like to share with you at the festival. It is my privilege to invite you to the event and experience many activities your family can enjoy together – from our real trout fishing pond, children’s inflatables, and sports competitions to our Ukrainian vyshyvanka dress competition and raffle, we seek to celebrate Ukrainian culture together. I trust that you will be able to have a wonderful time and enjoy beautiful music and performances, authentic Ukrainian food and drinks, and the numerous activities offered at this event.

This event was made possible together with the City of Bellevue, our sponsors, and many volunteers who have dedicated their time and resources.

Welcome to the 2024 annual NW Ukrainian International Festival!
