The annual Ukrainian Cultural Fair took place in Londonderry

This event is dedicated to Ukrainian culture and humanitarian support for Ukraine. The event brought together over a hundred participants and visitors, who celebrated with music, food, traditional crafts, and exhibitions.

The fair featured Ukrainian souvenirs, folk art, pysanky (decorated eggs), paintings, folk clothing, and national cuisine. Ukrainian music was played, children's activities were held, and a lottery was held with themed baskets containing sweets, drinks, soft toys, and household items.
