This year, we will celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day at the Lincoln Memorial because the White House area, where we held the official part of our event during the last four years, as well as the Taras Shevchenko Memorial, are currently fenced off with no announced reopening timeline. In previous years, we marched with a large Ukrainian flag from the White House to the Taras Shevchenko Memorial. This year, we will march from the Lincoln Memorial around the Washington Monument and back to the Lincoln Memorial, where the event will conclude with a concert.
