Celebration of Independence Day in the 'orange style'

On August 24, residents of Lutsk who became passengers of a trolleybus decorated with orange symbols and balloons (trolleybus route No. 1) had a pleasant surprise – the ride in the "orange" trolleybus was free. This gift to the city's residents was made by the Volyn Oblast Organization of the political party "People's Union Our Ukraine".

Lutsk residents and guests of the city were delighted by performances of creative groups on the festive stage located at the entrance to Lesya Ukrainka Central Park. The concert, at which gifted children of Volyn had the opportunity to perform, took place with the support of the oblast organization of NSHU. And a real sensation of the festive day was the concert venue near the monument to T.H. Shevchenko, which was given over for two hours to the creativity of young singers and dancers – winners of all-Ukrainian and international arts competitions. Talented children of our region were greeted by the Head of the Lutsk City Organization of NSHU Mykola Suryak and a member of the Party Council of the city branch Andriy Roztoka. More than twenty gifted children received soft toys from "People's Union Our Ukraine", and the members of the children's choreographic ensemble "Yunist" received a huge cake with the inscription "From Yushchenko's Party".

Little Volyn residents had the opportunity to get a tattoo drawing in national or orange symbols with "revolutionary" ribbons. The campaign "Colorful Holiday on Children's Cheeks", organized by the Lutsk City Organization of the political party "People's Union Our Ukraine", took place in an atmosphere of sincere children's joy. Thanks to young Volyn artists, Ukrainian blue-and-yellow and orange colors adorned the hands and faces of the little ones. Overall, on the city streets the vast majority of people, especially among the youth, wore national symbols. It has become a good sign not to be ashamed of expressing patriotism. The current celebration of Ukraine's Independence Day once again proves – we live in a renewed society where people have learned to respect themselves as the Ukrainian nation.
