The Largest Polish Festival in the USA in Chicago

A weekend of incredible music, food, and fun for all ages at the 35th Annual Taste of Polonia Festival (August 29th – September 1st ) at the Copernicus Center, 5216 W. Lawrence Ave. (corner of Lawrence and Milwaukee Avenues.)

Kielbasa, pierogi, and potato pancakes are just a few of the Polish favorites served up by 10 restaurants. Cold imported Polish beers wash everything down.

Visit one of four stages for a unique selection of non - stop music for every taste – from popular local bands to international musicians playing everything from classic and alternative rock to folk, world, pop, dance and, of course, polka!
Stages offer rock & pop music played by local bands Tributosaurus, Wedding Banned, Gentleman of Leisure, Reely Dan, American English and Ear Candy.
Other stages offer World Music, polka bands, kid ’s shows, folk dancing and more. After 7p.m. nightly, our DJs turn one stage area into an outside night club.
Inside the air conditioned Copernicus Center, roll the dice at Nick’s Casino, play Bingo in Annex, or taste some of our unique Polish delights at the inside bar.
Outside, test your luck at carnival and arcade games, or take a stroll around the Festival Marketplace with over 60 vendors.

 Family activities include: live children’s theater, dance and music workshops, karaoke, balloon twisting, face painting, food contests, plus talent and game shows – complete with prizes and giveaways!
Returning this year is the very popular Inflatable Park and a climbing wall .
