Getting There

The Polish Festival @ Fed Square is a vibrant celebration of Polish culture, heritage, and community. Now in its twentieth year, it promises a day full of rich traditions, lively performances and authentic Polish experiences for all ages.

At the heart of the festival is an explosion of colour, music and dance. Traditional folk dances, performed by talented groups in beautifully embroidered costumes, captivate the audience with their high-energy routines and rhythmic precision. Visitors can also enjoy live music ranging from classic to modern Polish genres, bringing the essence of Poland to Melbourne.

Food lovers are in for a treat, with a variety of stalls offering traditional Polish cuisine. From pierogi (dumplings) and kielbasa (sausage) to bigos (hunter’s stew) and delicious desserts like paczki (doughnuts), the festival is a feast for the senses, showcasing the hearty and delicious flavours of Polish cooking.

The Polish Festival is not only about entertainment but also about fostering cultural exchange and understanding. There are craft stalls displaying intricate Polish handicrafts, from ceramics to paper-cut art, and opportunities for visitors to learn more about Polish history and traditions through cultural exhibits and interactive workshops.

For families, the festival offers a range of activities for children, including face painting, games and hands-on craft-making sessions. The welcoming atmosphere makes it a perfect day out for people of all backgrounds to immerse themselves in Polish culture.

The 20th Polish Festival will be a joyous occasion that brings the Polish community together while inviting the wider public to experience and celebrate the rich cultural tapestry of Poland.
