Our Activities
On August 24, 2024, Slavics.org hosted a memorable picnic at 1008 Santa Clara Place, San Diego, in celebration of Ukraine’s Independence Day. The event brought together Ukrainians from across the region to honor their homeland’s independence, fostering a spirit of unity and cultural pride.
The picnic was filled with an array of activities that catered to all age groups, allowing families, friends, and individuals to engage in fun and meaningful interactions. Traditional Ukrainian games and performances added a festive touch, as participants shared in the joy of their national holiday.
A standout feature of the event was the selection of Ukrainian national dishes, which brought a taste of home to many. Guests indulged in beloved recipes such as borscht, varenyky (dumplings), holubtsi (stuffed cabbage rolls), and sausages, savoring flavors that carried the essence of Ukrainian culture.
The Independence Day picnic provided an opportunity for attendees to reflect on the resilience and strength of the Ukrainian people while celebrating their heritage. It also allowed those who had recently arrived in the U.S. to connect with others in the community, building new friendships and strengthening existing bonds.
Slavics.org once again demonstrated its dedication to fostering community and cultural pride through this event. By organizing such celebrations, the organization ensures that the Ukrainian diaspora in San Diego can honor important national milestones together, even while far from their homeland. The picnic was a touching reminder of the solidarity, resilience, and pride that Ukrainians carry with them, wherever they are in the world.
