The Annual Ukrainian Heritage Festival - now in its 28th year - showcases the Ukraine and its people. The idea was originally conceived by several members of the Yonkers branch of the Ukrainian American Youth Association.
The festival features rides, vendors and an array of performers. There will also be vendors offering Ukrainian musical CDs and videos, gifts and clothing.
There will also be plenty of authentic Ukranian cuisine, including varenyky and Chicken Kyiv-meals.
The festival begins Friday with the Vox Ethnika/Band from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be opening ceremonies at 7 p.m.
The festival will be held on the grounds of St. Michael's Ukranian Catholic Church, at North Broadway and Shonnard Place.
