Celebrate Ukrainian New Year in the Heart of the Rockies!

The mountains are calling — and they’re ready to party! 

Mountain Malanka returns to Jasper on Saturday, January 17, 2026, brought to you by UFest Edmonton Ukrainian Festival and Tourism Jasper.

Now in its fourth year, this unforgettable celebration transforms Jasper into a vibrant hub of Ukrainian culture, music, and tradition. Get ready for a high-energy evening featuring spectacular performances by the Dunai Ukrainian Dancers and the electrifying sounds of Neech. Indulge in mouthwatering Ukrainian cuisine, raise a glass, and dance the night away!

But the fun doesn’t stop there — kick off the weekend with a Pre-Malanka Pub Night at the Whistle Stop Pub on Friday, then dive into all the winter magic Jasper has to offer as part of the Jasper in January festival.

Mountain Malanka is more than a party — it’s a fundraiser for UFest Edmonton Ukrainian Festival and a celebration of community, culture, and winter wonder.Check out the website for host hotel info, weekend details, and more.
