Culture, community and resilience: Ukrainian Day in the Park returns to Saskatoon
One of Saskatoon's largest and most vibrant cultural festivals returns this August, with the annual Ukrainian Day in the Park. The free, family-friendly event will take place Aug. 30 from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. in Kiwanis Memorial Park. Organizers say everyone is invited to experience the richness of Ukrainian heritage through music, dance, food and cultural traditions. This year's theme is 'United in Resilience,' aimed at celebrating the enduring spirit of Ukrainian culture in Saskatchewan and around the world. 'Ukrainian Day in the Park is more than a festival, it's a celebration of identity, resilience, and community,' says Ulyana Bolonna, marketing and social media coordinator for the Ukrainian Day in the Park organizing committee. Main stage performances include Ukrainian dancers, choirs and bands, sharing both traditional and modern performances. Regina band Hutsul Drive will close the festival with an evening performance. Visitors can also stop by a cultural tent showcasing Ukrainian history, embroidery and traditions. Family-friendly entertainment options include kids crafts and bouncy castles. Those looking for something to eat can enjoy favourites like perogies, borscht and cabbage rolls. 'We invite everyone in Saskatoon and beyond to join us in honouring Ukrainian heritage, while enjoying a day of unity and fun,' added Bolonna. Ukrainian Day in the Park was established in 2001 by Ukrainian Canadian Congress -Saskatoon. The event — which has seen up to 6,000 visitors in previous years — is organized entirely by volunteers, with support from local businesses, cultural organizations and community partners.

I think the genre, as a whole, has been bereft of any significantly interesting metaphors or fresh ideas since Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead took the 'capitalism makes us unfeeling shamblers' metaphor as far as it could go. That's all to say that Damon Pitcher, the star of this solo musical about Ray, a man trapped in a zombie apocalypse by both the threat of the walking dead and his capitalist ambitions, was already facing an uphill battle to entertain me. To his credit, Pitcher was a delight to watch, bringing true emotional weight to a myriad of complicated and layered emotions that sometimes turned on a dime. He has a fantastic singing voice, showing a great deal of range as he belted out pop-rock reimaginings of familiar tunes. The plot, however, has been done before, including by other media — there's even a 2012 book of the same name with many similar plot elements, down to the protagonist being a zombie apocalypse survivor struggling against his avarice and self-worth. If you're a fan of zombies and stories around them, you'll find plenty to enjoy here, but unfortunately, I did not.
