Smiths Falls residents are invited to come together over food, culture and conversation at a Taste of Ukraine community dinner on Family Day.
The event is being hosted by the Falls Food Hub in partnership with Project Up the Table, and will take place Feb. 16 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Hanley Hall.
Hub Operations manager Ashley Saunders says the goal is to celebrate Ukrainian culture while bringing the community together.
The meal is open to everyone. A $5 donation is suggested, but not required, and no one will be turned away if they cannot pay.
The evening will include Ukrainian-themed decorations, flags, and entertainment such as singing or dancing, along with cultural displays. Organizers are asking people to pre-register to help estimate attendance.
The event is sponsored by Pankow Financial Solutions, a longtime supporter of the initiative as Mayor Shawn Pankow hosted the first celebrations in previous years.
