As part of our Christmas Giving Season 2025, we invite you to experience the magic and beauty of a deeply cherished Ukrainian tradition right here in Boston! The Ukrainian Cultural Center of New England (UCCN) invites you to be an essential part of our Annual Ukrainian Christmas Star Parade.
✨Experience the Magic
The Christmas Star is a powerful symbol in Ukrainian tradition, representing hope, light, and the spirit of the holidays. Imagine joining a procession of hundreds of people with stunning, traditionally handmade wooden stars, singing beautiful carols, and filling the streets of Boston with light and unity.
This year, we have an ambitious goal: 300 stars highlighting the parade! Your participation is the only way to make this celebration a reality.
💛💙This event mission is uniting people, highlighting beautiful traditions, and fundraising for Children in Ukraine and New England
🎯 Our 2025 Goals:
✨Rebuild the sensory room at the children’s inpatient mental health unit in Bucha, Kyiv region, in partnership with the charitable foundation “Your Support.”
✨Create a safe and inspiring educational space for students of the only Ukrainian School in Massachusetts — a place for learning language, history, music, dance, and folk art.
Every Child Needs a Safe Space — Let’s Build It Together!
