The new holiday, which is celebrated every third Thursday in May, Vyshyvanka Day, has appeared in Ukraine recently. This year, the date was May 17.

The parades of vyshyvanka and various events were held on May 17 in many cities of the country. Some stations of the Kiev Metro have for some time carried out a free ride in the metro for those who were dressed in vyshyvanka clothes.
