Even though a lot of features and attractions from the 47th Annual Vegreville Pysanka Festival had to be virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had a chance to experience a live version of the popular music that was featured at previous Vegreville Pysanka Festivals on July 4.

Millenia drove through Vegreville to perform their touring concert where they kicked off the concert in the parking lot of Heritage House and continued to play their music outdoors at Homestead Lodge, Vegreville Care Centre, and Century Park, down Mainstreet in Vegreville, St. Michael’s Manor, Vegreville Elks/Kinsmen Park, and St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Millenia is a Ukrainian Zabava band from Edmonton, Alberta. They started as a band in 1999 where they were determined to preserve and advance Canadian Ukrainian music.
