🇺🇦 Happy Ukrainian Independence Day! 🇺🇦

Arlington Sister City Association proudly celebrates with our friends and partners in our sister city, Ivano-Frankivsk, and with Ukrainians around the world.

On August 24, 1991, Ukraine’s Parliament declared independence, beginning a new chapter in a long history of Ukrainian efforts to preserve their identity, culture, and right to self-determination. The declaration was overwhelmingly affirmed by the Ukrainian people in a national referendum that December.

Today, we honor Ukraine’s history, celebrate its people, and recognize the courage and resilience of Ukrainians who continue to defend their country and its future.

Вітаємо з Днем Незалежності України!
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 💙💛

Information for tourists and guests of Ivano-Frankivsk: news, city tours, what to see in Ivano-Frankivsk, where to stay and where to eat. Everything about tourism in Ivano-Frankivsk
