The popular celebration of Polish culture, music and cuisine has, for years, attracted huge crowds of people from New Britain, the state and beyond.
Festival Organizers have said that,
Since its humble beginnings just over a decade ago, the Little Poland Festival has grown to become one of the fastest-growing and most popular cultural festivals in all of New England. The annual festival takes place in New Britain’s Little Poland neighborhood which to this day is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Polish communities in all the US.
Festival organizers add,
Each year, the festival attracts over 30,000 participants from across all of New England and the East Coast who come out to enjoy our exciting entertainment lineup on two stages, traditional folks dancing performances, dozens of restaurants serving delicious Polish food, beer gardens, over 100 vendor booths, an antique car show and plenty of attractions for our youngest festival goers.
