Polish Festival 2008: Piwo, pierogies, and polka

September 25, 2008 by Dave 5 Comments

2012 details here!

Polish FestivalThe 15th annual Portland Polish Festival takes place this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27-28 at the grounds of the Polish Library Hall and St. Stanislaus Church on North Interstate and Failing.

From the press release:

The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, and noon to 6p.m., Sunday, with continuous stage entertainment and a Saturday night street dance.

Performers will include the popular Polonez renaissance court dance company from Vancouver, B.C.

This year’s festival foods will include pierogis, Polish entrees, fruit-filled pastries and, delectable kielbasa sausages, and beer garden featuring Polish lagers, porters and other beers. Chefs have ordered 15,000 pierogis for the two-day fete and imported 6,000 bottles of Polish beers and wines.

I attend a lot of festivals, but this one is my favorite. Friend-of-the-blog Brent’s review of last year’s festival will give you an idea of what to expect. Around the Sun also has a writeup about last year’s festival, with photos: Sights From Polish Festival, 2007, Portland. Come for the Polish beer and delicious food, stay for the music and dancing.

    Mary Sue – 15,000 pierogies; there should be enough for you! The weather looks nice this weekend too; it rained last year but the festival was still a blast.
