Ukrainian Independence Day – Thursday 24 August

Ukrainian families in West Northamptonshire will join people across the UK to celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day on Thursday 24 August.

The Ukrainian flag will be raised at all West Northants Council (WNC) office buildings in Towcester, Daventry and Northampton to mark 32 years since Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

There will also be a ceremony to commemorate the day at midday in the Guildhall Courtyard on St Giles’ Square in Northampton attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire and the Chairman of West Northamptonshire Council, and representatives of the Ukrainian community.
