The UKRO Ukrainian Culture Festival invites artists to take part

In October 2026, the Italian town of Treviglio (in the province of Bergamo) will host UKRO – Festival della Cultura Ucraina — one of the most famous cultural events of the Ukrainian diaspora in Italy. The UKRO Festival was founded in 2015 and has been promoting Ukrainian culture in various Italian cities for over ten years. During this time, it has brought together hundreds of artists, dozens of community organisations and thousands of spectators, becoming an important platform for cultural dialogue between Ukraine and Italy. The organisers invite the following to take part: 🎤 singers and music bands; 💃 dance troupes; 🎭 theatre groups; 🎨 artists and folk craftspeople; 👗 designers of Ukrainian clothing; 🍯 producers of traditional Ukrainian goods and gastronomic brands. According to UA Service HUB, both professional and amateur creative groups, individual performers, decorative and applied arts craftspeople, community organisations and entrepreneurs representing Ukrainian culture are eligible to take part in the festival. To take part, you must submit an application to the organisers and agree on the format of your performance or product presentation. Places are limited, so it is recommended that you register in advance. Festival guests can look forward to two days filled with Ukrainian music, folklore, art, gastronomy, creative workshops and a friendly atmosphere. Please note that a coach transfer will be organised for participants from southern Italy: 🚌 departure from Naples — 3 October 2026; 🚌 return from Treviglio — 4 October after the festival has ended; 📍 arrival in Naples — on the morning of 5 October. If you’d like to showcase your work, reach a new audience, meet fellow artists and join the largest Ukrainian cultural movement in Italy — UKRO is waiting just for you!
