Ask anyone who's walked through the Ukrainian Market at UAFest and it's usually the smell of home-cooked food that comes up first. The market brings together food vendors, craftspeople and small Ukrainian-owned businesses in one lively strip, and it's consistently one of the busiest corners of festival day.

Behind every table is a vendor who applied the same way every UAFest vendor does: filled out a form, described what they make, and showed up on festival day to share it with thousands of visitors. That's the whole model — a genuinely open door for Ukrainian food, craft and small business, not a curated showcase.

If that sounds like your table, the UAFest 2027 waiting list is open. Whether you're bringing food, a craft, or a service, the invitation is the same one it's always been: come share it with thousands of people who came specifically to see it.
