The 2025 edition of the Ukrainian Festival is this weekend on 7th Street

The annual St. George Ukrainian Festival takes place on Seventh Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square this coming weekend (May 16-18!) 

The festivities start at 5 p.m. Friday and last through Sunday afternoon, as the organizers said in a statement: "until all 30,000-plus pierogies have sold out." 

The three-day festival — one of the best neighborhood events — celebrates Ukrainian culture, music, and food with various performances and vendors selling traditional arts and crafts. 

We haven't seen the scheduled times for the outdoor performances just yet — they're usually on Saturday afternoon and evening and again on Sunday. There is a Facebook page for the event here. 

Back to the organizers: "Come out and support our talented artists who dedicate every week to keeping Ukrainian traditions alive."
