For a taste of Christmas in a vibrant pot of cultures, head to the Holiday Bazaar organized by International Women’s Club Kyiv.
In its 18th year, the fair presents ethnic food, souvenirs, clothing and whatever other trinkets from more than 30 embassies in Ukraine. It’s a good opportunity to get an unusual Christmas gift from faraway lands without having to travel anywhere.
A traditional grand raffle is a good chance to win airline tickets, car rental certificates and home electronics, among other precious gifts. IWCK is known for its charitable work, and the Holiday Bazaar is their main fundraiser of the year. All the money collected will be spent on noble causes – such as, for example, helping children with Down syndrome.
Saturday, Dec. 4, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 33 Velyka Zhytomyrska St., 234-3180, www.iwck.org. Entrance fee: Hr 30
