World Vyshyvanka Day: A Symbol That Connects Us Across Borders

This year, on May 21, Ukrainians around the world celebrate World Vyshyvanka Day - a day of Ukrainian identity, culture, resilience, and unity.

What began 20 years ago as a small student initiative in Chernivtsi has grown into a global tradition that unites millions of Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine in many countries.

Vyshyvanka Day is a reminder that culture travels with us. It lives in our language, family stories, traditions, and embroidered patterns passed from one generation to the next.

This year, as we mark the 20th anniversary of World Vyshyvanka Day, we also honor those who defend Ukraine and remember those who have given their lives.

Wear your vyshyvanka and join us at to honor traditions and shared values.
Happy World Vyshyvanka Day!
З Днем вишиванки!
