Ukrainian Kupala Festival: Spirit of the Summer Solstice

Step into a vibrant celebration of nature, love, and light as the Ukrainian community in Cambridge invites you to the Kupala Festival – Spirit of the Summer Solstice.

Inspired by Ukraine’s ancient midsummer tradition of Ivan Kupala, this all-day, family-friendly event blends folklore, live music, and immersive cultural experiences. Set in the picturesque village of Waterbeach, just outside Cambridge, the festival offers something for all ages – from flower crown workshops and children's quests inspired by Kupala legends to folk dances around a symbolic bonfire and flower wreath floating on water – echoing ancient customs.

Enjoy delicious homemade food, from varenyky and pastries to BBQ and special regional dishes.
