Dec. 12, 2025: This weekend, join a community festival featuring food, live music, a holiday bazaar, activities for children, and so much more. Yulia Brockdorf, President, DAWN, Inc. and Valentina Pishchanskaya-Cayanan, Vice President, DAWN, Inc., joined us to share a little about the third annual Ukrainian Winterfest celebration and how it supports the efforts of their nonprofit organization.
- Ukrainian Winterfest
- Saturday, December 13, 1:00pm to 9:00pm
- Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 3131 NE Glisan St, Portland
Admission is free, with donations encouraged via QR code at the event to support DAWN’s mission of sending 100% of proceeds directly to humanitarian aid for Ukraine’s defenders and displaced families.
“Winterfest is a living expression of hope. Every ticket, every craft, every shared moment helps deliver direct aid to the people in Ukraine who are facing another harsh winter, and keeps the powerful story of the Ukrainian people front of mind here in Oregon.” says Yulia.
