It's the 39th year for the festival, held on East Seventh Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square.
Here are a few highlights for 2015 (via the EVG inbox):
• A portion of the festivals profit will be donated to the victims of the deadly gas explosion on March 26
• Street vendors from the community will be selling a range of Ukrainian food and merchandize to support the local church and community
• More than 100 performances from professional Ukrainian dance ensembles, singers and musicians.
Look for an interview here with Andrew Stasiw, chairman of St. George Ukrainian Festival, later this week.

Great food and music! Have not missed one in 33 years. See you there...although I won't know it.
I love the festival! Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather.
Thank God this is one thing that will hopefully be in the neighborhood for many decades to come.
Always a great true EV experience, highly recommended, especially relevant now with the current situation in the Ukraine.
