«Who, if not us?» — these words from the band «Drugá Ríka» echoed loudly through the mountains of Svyatets. It was here, under the open sky at Crona Hotel & SPA, that we organized an unforgettable patriotic celebration of Independence Day.
This year, we celebrated Independence Day amidst the enchanting Ukrainian nature. At our Crona Hotel & SPA in Svyatets, Lviv region, we hosted a true festival of patriotism. The invited band «Drugá Ríka», which grew up alongside Independent Ukraine, became the soul of the event.
«This is a celebration of identity,» — shared Valeriy Kharchyshyn, the leader of «Drugá Ríka», reflecting on his perspective of the holiday. «We must fight for our identity, and, sadly, we are paying the highest price for it — our own lives. Therefore, this is not just a celebration of victory, but above all an affirmation of our identity,» — he emphasized.
During the concert, we held a charity auction, with all proceeds directed to support our defenders. A guest at the hotel, Yuliya, shared that she always supports the army and was thrilled to participate in the auction, especially on such an important day for Ukraine.
There was something for everyone at the event. For children, we organized various activities, including an exciting caramel-making workshop. The evening, filled with meaning, energy, and light, was masterfully hosted by the charismatic presenter Zinoviy Karach. We prepared a themed photo zone for guests, while food courts delighted with dishes crafted by our hotel chefs.
Guests were thrilled with the event, as many have visited Crona Hotel & SPA more than once. «Such events are incredibly important to promote Ukrainian creativity, music, culture, and gastronomic heritage. This is probably our third time here, and this hotel truly impresses us,» — said Iryna.
We are glad that the event was open not only to hotel residents but also to all who wished to join. For example, Oleh and Halyna saw the poster and decided to attend the celebration.
To cap off the evening under the open sky, we organized a screening of the film about the son of a Ukrainian writer — «Another Franko». The event was sponsored by Lux FM, Nadzbruchchya Khlib, the Galychyna dairy company, TM Rud’, Radymo, and Wine Time.
