About this event

A three-day celebration featuring live music, food from local vendors, a carnival, and the famous Polish Day Parade. Admission is free.

What to Expect

  • 1.Plan to arrive early to snag a good spot along Caniff Avenue and Joseph Campau for the Polish Day Parade and to scope out the carnival and music stages.
  • 2.Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light backpack because you will be walking a lot and hopping between food booths and rides.
  • 3.Food lines can get long, so pick a couple must-try items in advance and consider having cash for faster, on-the-spot purchases.
  • 4.Parking and street closures can make logistics tricky on a busy holiday weekend, so consider transit or rideshare and give yourself extra time.
  • 5.If you're going solo, stay near the stages or parade route where you're more likely to strike up conversations with other attendees.
