The Rushnyk of Unity — Rushnyk of Victory: North American Premiere
A European Record-holding, continuously growing embroidered rushnyk, created during Ukraine's ongoing war and stitched by communities across Europe. UAFest 2026 hosted its first-ever appearance in North America, where its journey across Canada began in Carleton Place.

Brand your business along the journey
An official pre-festival community event — an annual drive and ride from Ottawa to the festival, ending in a symbolic walk to the festival grounds. Sponsors get vehicle and flag branding, start & finish signage, and media and photo opportunities along the route.
