Each August, the city of Chicago comes alive with a celebration of our Polish community as the Southside Polish Fest begins on August 16th and continues until August 18th. This three day festival celebrates everything Polish, and gives our city’s Polish community the opportunity to share their culture with us. This year, the festivities are set to include live music, Polish dance, carnival rides suitable for all ages, and, perhaps the best part, traditional Polish food and beer!
