Over the past 20 years, art groups from Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and other countries have participated in the Northern Star festival. Famous creative personalities from Ukraine, such as Anna Kurylenko (actress and singer of the Cherkasy Regional Drama Theater), Svyatoslav Boyko (frontman of the band Shirokyi Lan) and others, participated in the final concert.
The ethnic festival Vyshyvanka Unites was held in cooperation with the Estonian Open Air Museum (Eesti Vabaõhumuuseum) for World Embroidery Day. It achieved a great goal - to unite Ukrainians and Estonians to preserve ancient folk traditions and culture and introduce each other to their ethnic group and national cultural heritage.

The next festival will take place in May 2024.
