What is it?
The Cleveland Ukrainian Heritage Festival is an inaugural celebration of the
city's rich immigrant history at the heart of where so many diasporas got their start: Tremont!
The festival is hoped to become an annual event during which the neighborhood's
Ukrainian roots can be displayed in greater detail.

Who are we?
Founded by two local non-profit organizations, the festival is envisioned
as a way for the local community to learn more about Cleveland's Ukrainian
diaspora, as well as the city's diverse ethnic and cultural history through museum
exhibits, cuisine, and folk performances, while also helping the local
and global causes supported by the two charities.

Cleveland Maidan AssociationThe Cleveland Maidan Association got its start in 2014 as an
effort by members of the Ukrainian diaspora as a way to provide financial aid to those who were wounded or the families of those who died during the Euromaidan Revolution in Kyiv, Ukraine. As a new conflict arose in eastern Ukraine, the Association began to also provide financial and material support to the families of those wounded or killed during or as a result of the war. |
Ukrainian Museum-ArchivesSince its establishment in 1952, the UMA has been a
cornerstone for both the Tremont and Ukrainian community of Cleveland. Its central position in both communities has required the UMA to accept the dual challenge of contributing both to the development of the Tremont neighborhood, which is its home, and to the growing interest in Ukraine as a cultural, scholarly and geopolitical factor, which is its mission. |
A bigger picture
In addition to its charitable goal, the Cleveland Ukrainian
Heritage Festival will also be a part of the first city-wide celebration of Cleveland's place in history, acting as the closing ceremony of Cleveland History Days. The inaugural ten -day celebration will bring together a variety of events held by local organizations such as Canalway Partners, Case Western Reserve Historical Society, and League Park among many others, in order to bring attention to some of Cleveland's most memorable events. |
