In Ukraine people celebrate a lot of holidays
Since Independence Day is a public holiday, government offices, educational facilities and a lot of
businesses are closed. The blue and yellow flags are flown, and a lot of people wear colorful embroidered shirts
and dresses - vyshyvanky.
Every city has it`s own traditions and plan of events. But the main celebrations were always held in
Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.
Usually Independence Day was celebrated with a military parade on Khreschatyk. This year government
officials decided to commemorate the day Ukraine became independent in a different way. Due to the current
situation in Ukraine, in the morning of August 24th we will be honouring the heroes, who gave their lives to
protect the freedom and independence of our country.
