Ukraine Fest at the Town Gardens was today - Friday 23 August - due to run until 8pm.
The celebration of Ukraine and all things Ukrainian was an instant success with visitors when it opened at noon.
Scheduled attractions included a full concert programme with eight Ukrainian bands, DJ Mariia, and Ihor Grokhotsky - winner of ‘Voice of the Country 2014’ who performed with Okean Elzy - and Swindon's own local Ukrainian-British rock choir.
There were also to be workshops until 6pm including clay sculpting, bandura playing, coffee painting and motanka dolls.
A popular kids' zone includes workshops and entertainment with bubble shows and face painting.
Bbusinesses were providing food and drink, and a market was set to run all day, together with an exhibition from the Ukrainian Artists' Association.
