The Ann Arbor branch of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA), is hosting its 4th annual Vyshyvanka Day celebration, a festive community gathering. Vyshyvanka Day is celebrated each year on the third Thursday of May in Ukraine and internationally, showcasing Ukraine’s unique cultural heritage through the distinctive patterns of an embroidered shirt, vyshyvanka (pronounced vysh-Y-vahn-ka). Guests are welcome (or encouraged) to wear flower crowns, vyshyvanka shirts, or any Ukrainian-themed T-shirt, but all are welcome to come as they are!

This celebration is also a fundraiser for Hospitallers, a Ukrainian volunteer organization of paramedics who save lives on the frontlines.

Sponsors: TeaHaus, Zingerman’s, Ukrainian Selfreliance Michigan Federal Credit Union, Ukrainian American Archives and Museum.
Music: The Tryzub (Trident) Trio Jazz Combo will be playing live music – piano, double bass, and drums.
