We don’t know what it was like in your neck of the woods, but around here it sure seemed spring would never arrive.
Now that it’s here (really!), we can look ahead to the summer.
Welcome to the 2018 issue of “A Ukrainian Summer” – the 22nd annual, if you’re keeping count. Included are calendars of Ukrainian festivals and Ukrainian sports events, as well as information about a variety of summertime activities and pursuits.
Our Kyiv correspondent leads off with a fascinating look at the resurgence of nature in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, which has become a tourist destination. There are also stories about the courses offered by the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute, the Kobzarska Sich Bandura and Vocal Programs, the concerts of “Music at Grazhda,” the doings at Soyuzivka Heritage Center, and much, much more.
You’ll get a look at camps, cultural offerings and social gatherings geared to our Ukrainian American community, plus a travel feature. The advertisements also are informative, giving readers all-important details about numerous events, camps and programs.
Thank you to all who submitted materials for this supplement! And, you’re invited to be part of “A Ukrainian Summer” next year. So mark your calendars for 2019 as a reminder to sendinyourinfoinmid-April.
