Carleton Place’s Riverside Park was a very busy hot spot on Sunday as residents and visitors celebrated a very summer-like first day of fall and all things Ukranian. Our Brian Turner has the story.
The Ukrainian Festival Lanark County brought out crowds to enjoy the culture, art, music, and cuisine of Ukraine.
A Ukrainian children’s choir gave an inspiring voice to the event and a traditional unrolling of the Ukrainian flag brought cheers from participants.
Proceeds from the event will go to supporting mental health programs for children and their families for their rehabilitation in specialized centers in Ukraine.
