The 62nd Polish Festival in Syracuse, NY

In addition to our great musical and dance entertainment, the Polish Festival provides a safe and fun children’s area complete with Jeff the Magic Man, BJ a child-friendly clown,bouncy house, games, face painting. Lots of fun for the whole family.

The Syracuse Polish Festival is one of the biggest and most friendly family-oriented events annually hosted at Clinton Square in Syracuse, NY.

The festival will have a children’s safe area with games, a bounce house, face painting, Jeff the Magic Man, and BJ the Friendly Clown.

So, the Syracuse Polish Festival will soon again take over Clinton Square and we hope to once again provide a magical ambiance for the residents of Central New York.

Be part of our success!
