End the summer festival season at Toronto's largest Ukrainian gathering

by Halia Hrycyna

TORONTO - Plans are under way for the 2004 Bloor West Village Ukrainian Festival to be held here on the last weekend of August. Dates are Friday, August 27, and Saturday, August 28, and possibly Sunday, August 29.

Parade entries, entertainers, vendors and volunteers are asked to call the festival hotline at (416) 410-9965 or e-mail [email protected].

Last year's festival drew crowds of over 250,000 people from across Canada, the United States and Europe. This year the attendance is expected to be at least as large, attracting crowds to experience Ukrainian culture, entertainment and cuisine in Toronto's Bloor West Village. Complete street closure along Bloor Street West between Runnymede and Jane streets in the west end of Toronto provides the setting for this event of Ukrainian hospitality and fun.
