People are encouraged to come and experience Ukrainian culture and donate supplies and money to assist those fighting in Ukraine to protect their homes.

There will be inspirational productions by Ukrainian dancers and musicians, local acts like the Morris Music Men and Morristown’s own Eric Hayes, performances by students from the Morristown High School Band & Orchestra, and more.

There will be arts and crafts and lessons in Ukrainian culture and history, followed by a candlelight prayer at sundown for the Ukrainian people.

“This is an opportunity to celebrate the Ukrainian people’s heritage and give them help in surviving. Any level of support is appreciated,” said Publicity Director Mike Leavy.
