The Toronto Ukrainian Festival (formerly the Bloor West Village Ukrainian Festival) is a celebration of Toronto's diversity. It has established itself as one of the premier Ukrainian festivals in North America. The Festival takes pride in showcasing contemporary professional and amateur artists and performers of Ukrainian heritage who celebrate Ukrainian culture through music, dance and the visual arts. This year's festival takes place in Bloor West Village, September 12-24, 2008.
Come and join the festival as they bring a sampling for their music, dancing & enthusiasm to the marathon!

Access/parking
By Windermere, and Gardiner/Lakeshore eastbound only, to foot of Windermere, then drive east in the eastbound curb lane to lot at Budapest Park, next to Palais Royale. Free parking in lot. Access all day, though could be a bit dodgy getting out, as you need to go back in the access lane to Windermere, then out.
OR, for fast access, park on the street on King/Queen and Roncesvalles, then walk south over the footbridge to Lakeshore. This gives you a fabulous view from on the footbridge, right over the ONC, and all the runners.
