The 50th anniversary edition of the Ukrainian Festival is this weekend

One of the neighborhood's favorite spring traditions returns this weekend. 

The annual St. George Ukrainian Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary with three days of Ukrainian food, music, and culture on Seventh Street between Second Avenue and Taras Shevchenko Place. 

Hosted by St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church, the festival features traditional Ukrainian dishes such as pierogi, borscht, holubtsi (stuffed cabbage) and honey cake ... along with live music, dance performances, choirs and vendors selling art, crafts, embroidery and jewelry. 

Outdoor performances are typically held on Saturday afternoon and evening, then again on Sunday. We haven’t seen a full entertainment schedule just yet. 

Festival hours: 
• Friday, May 15: 5-8 p.m. 
• Saturday, May 16: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. 
• Sunday, May 17: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
