Polish Festival 2019
Now in its 15th year, the Polish Festival brings a taste of Poland to Melbourne and transforms Fed Square into Little Warsaw!
The Main Square hums with lively Old World atmosphere, with colourful dance and music performances as well as unique shopping opportunities. From exquisite amber jewellery to unique Boleslawiec ceramics and talented local artisans displaying their handcrafted wares, the Polish Festival is truly like no other!
Children (and the young at heart) can get their face painted or dress up in traditional Polish costumes at the interactive photo booth, or join in arts and crafts activities for kids, where they can make wreaths or a mask of the ‘Smok Wawelski’ (Wawel Dragon).
The dancing isn’t limited to the stage – there’ll be Polish dance lessons for adults and children throughout the day. Of course, a taste of Polish hospitality would be nothing without the fantastic food and beer. Although pierogi (dumplings), kielbasa (sausage) and bigos (hunters stew) may be a mouthful to say for non-Polish speakers, it’s guaranteed you will leave with a love for Polish food.
Spend time with friends, and make some new ones, in the Beer Garden with a variety of Polish beers and vodkas available. Everyone knows that when Poles get together, a good time is assured – come along and find out why at the Polish Festival 2019!
