HORSHAM, Pa. – A crowd of well over 2,000 attended the 24th annual Ukrainian Folk Festival on Sunday, August 23, at the Tryzub Ukrainian American Sports Center (Tryzubivka). Part of the proceeds from the event were earmarked for humanitarian relief in Ukraine, through the offices of the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee.
Visitors to the festival had the opportunity to browse the numerous vendors’ stalls, sample Ukrainian food, visit a Kozak camp re-enactment and enjoy a stage show featuring Iskra Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, violinist Innesa Tymochko Dekajlo, the Prometheus Ukrainian Male Chorus, Voloshky Ukrainian Dance Ensemble and Vox Ethnika Band, which also played for a zabava after the program.
