Ukrainian Day in Moldova 2026— Culture Unites
Culture brings people together regardless of age, language, or country. It is through traditions, creativity, and shared values that mutual understanding and trust are fostered.
We invite you to UDM—a festival where culture unites people, fosters new connections, and creates a space for communication, creativity, and open discussions.

📍 Iabloana Commune, Glodeni District View on a map
🕛 Starts at 12:00
This is a day when the whole family can find something to enjoy. Together, we’ll show that culture knows no borders, and that cooperation between communities begins with communication, mutual respect, and the desire to build a shared future.
Festival guests can look forward to a packed program where everyone will find something of interest:
🎶 a concert program featuring artistic groups from Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, and Poland;
🎭 a ceremonial parade of the groups and the symbolic “Towel of Unity” event, which everyone is welcome to join;
🧶 workshops on pottery, embroidery, beadwork, painting, and other traditional crafts;
🏡 exhibitions of folk art, traditional clothing, and cultural heritage;
👨👩👧👦 a separate children’s area with creative workshops, interactive games, activities, and a space for safe play;
🍲 Ukrainian borscht, Moldovan zamă, and a family dining area featuring traditional dishes;
🤝 Information booths run by international organizations, embassies, and partners, where you can learn about educational, social, and cultural opportunities.
Panel discussions will be a separate part of the festival. We will discuss how cultural heritage helps communities become stronger, how international cooperation opens up new opportunities for local development, and how joint initiatives create long-term partnerships between countries.
We invite residents of Moldova, members of the Ukrainian diaspora, partner organizations, international institutions, diplomatic missions, local authorities, and everyone who believes in the power of culture as a tool for development to join us for Ukrainian Day in Moldova.
Bring the whole family to spend a fun, meaningful day in the warm atmosphere of a shared celebration.
