Fundraiser To Support Little Poland Festival

The Polish American Foundation has announced an event to raise money to support the 2019 Little Poland Festival in New Britain.

The event will be held on May 3, 2019 from 7:00pm to 11:30pm. It will be held at the General Haller Post at 112 Grove Street.

New Britain’s Little Poland Festival is a huge celebration of Polish culture, music and cuisine held annually each spring since 2011. As many as 20,000 people from across Connecticut and beyond have joined New Britain residents in the community celebration on Broad Street.

The Festival’s website says that,

With leaping folk dancers, live music, arts and crafts, unique shopping, amazing food, costumed characters, carnival rides and activities for the young and young at heart, the Little Poland Festival is one of the fastest growing family friendly festivals of its kind in Connecticut. And the best part? Admission is only a smile.

Festival organizers have said that it takes upwards to $30,000 to carry out the festival.

The May 3rd fundraiser is to feature several bands, including the Broad Street Band, the Raspberry Goats and the Rich Badowski Blues Band.

Admission to the event is $6, which event organizers say includes, “1 free beer or drink.”

The 2019 Little Poland Festival, itself, is planned for 10:00am to 6:00pm on Sunday, June 2, 2019 on Broad Street.
