EVENT: D.C. Celebrates Ukraine’s Independence Day – CONCERT on August 24th, 2025!
On Sunday, August 24, for the fourth year in a row, US Ukrainian Activists (USUA) is bringing together supporters of Ukraine, the Ukrainian diaspora, and local Ukrainian-American groups and organizations to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day in Washington D.C. This three-part event tradition was launched in 2022 by Nadiya Shaporynska, President of US Ukrainian Activists (USUA).
Please join us at the CONCERT from 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Taras Shevchenko Memorial to celebrate Ukraine’s Culture and Heritage and honor Ukraine’s struggle for Freedom and Independence.
The concert will follow:
• the White House RALLY (4:30 – 6:15 p.m.);
• the MARCH in support of Ukraine (6:30 – 7:15 p.m.), from the White House to the Taras Shevchenko Memorial.
Join our volunteers to proudly march with a large Ukrainian flag (10m x 14m–33 ft x 46 ft)!
