The Bukovynski Zustrichi is an international folklore festival celebrating the rich multicultural traditions of Bukovina. Founded in 1990 to unite Bukovinian communities across borders, it features colorful parades, music, and dance from Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian and other Bukovinian heritage groups. Attendees experience a vibrant showcase of Carpathian folk costumes, songs, and dances, emphasizing preservation of local heritage 1 2.
This festival arose in the post-Soviet era as a revival of Bukovina’s multiethnic folk traditions. It brings together folk ensembles from Bukovinian diaspora communities in Poland, Romania, and Hungary, reinforcing cross-border cultural ties. Held in Chernivtsi in summer, it underscores Bukovina’s unique cultural mosaic 1 2.
