– Welcome to the 2010 Ukrainian Pysanka Festival, a showcase of Ukrainian Culture. We extend a sincere, traditional welcome to all guests, performers, participants, and volunteers to this unique cultural event.

In 1973 the Vegreville Cultural Association was formed to provide a weekend of celebration of traditions and Ukrainian culture. The association is made up of volunteers who have done and continue to do a wonderful job promoting this festival as an international cultural experience.

Make your visit a wonderful life experience. Make new friends and renew old acquaintances. We invite you to explore every aspect of the festival and also visit the World’s Largest Easter Egg, Pysanka, which was unveiled in 1975. The Pysanka depicts the artistry of Ukrainian culture in this region.

The three days, July 2, 3, and 4, will be full of fun filled activities for your enjoyment. It provides an opportunity for young and old to learn, participate, and share stories of our heritage.

We are very humbled, honoured, and privileged to be Hospodar and Hospodynia of this 37^th Annual Pysanka Festival. We are looking forward to meeting you. It is our hope to help make your visit enjoyable and memorable.
