Proceeds will go to causes supported by The Hosting, a Ypsilanti-based art nonprofit, according to a release.

“The Ukrainian people have a rich and ancient culture that is at risk of being eradicated during the current genocidal war at the hands of the Russian government,” said The Hosting founder Anya Klapischak. “Event patrons will come together to celebrate Ukrainian culture and preserve its importance during this critical time. Ukraine and her people deserve freedom as a civil right. Slava Ukraini!”

The Pietryzk Pierogi food truck will be selling pierogi and other specialties, with a portion of proceeds going towards the fundraiser.

Washtenaw County band Tina in the Sand will provide tunes for the event.

York and Studio Studio are at 1928 Packard St.
