UkraineFest 2025 will be held at the Town Gardens in Old Town on Saturday 23 August.
Organised by local organisation Swindon Welcomes Ukraine and running from noon to 7pm, it will feature a range of activities and attractions for the whole family.
A Swindon Welcomes Ukraine spokesperson said: "Since 2022, over 500 Ukrainians have arrived in Swindon through the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
"UkraineFest is a celebration of their culture and a warm invitation to the wider public to get involved, learn, and connect."
Attractions at the celebration will include live music, Ukrainian food and drink, handmade crafts, talks, and family activities such as storytelling and facepainting.
The festival also supports key local projects, including a Ukrainian community allotment, mental health support in partnership with Mind, art, choir, and cultural groups and housing and employment initiatives.
UkraineFest is supported by Swindon Borough Council’s Warm Welcome team, who continue to work closely with refugees across the town.
