Every May the city of Mississauga (next to Toronto), Ontario puts on a weekend-long multicultural festival celebrating Canada’s diversity:Â Carassauga. This year Ukraine does not have its own pavilion as it did in years prior but will still be participating in the International Pavilion with culinary kiosks and performances by the Barvinok School of Ukrainian Dance:
- Friday, May 23: 8:10 PM-8:30 PM & 10:00 PM-10:30 PM
- Saturday, May 24: 5:40 PM-6:10 PM & 7:40 PM-8:10 PM
- Sunday, May 25: 1:00 PM-1:30 PM & 3:20 PM-3:50 PM
at INTERNATIONAL PAVILION, ARENA 2
Tomken Arena
4495 Tomken Rd.

Carassauga 2008 was even better. I would be happy to post some photos here (of the Ukranian dancers), but I don’t know how to do so.
