The region's largest Polish American festival returns for its 60th year over Labor Day weekend. Live polka and disco polo bands perform on two outdoor stages, alongside Polish folk dance groups from across the US and Canada. Feast on kielbasa, pierogi, potato pancakes, and stuffed cabbage, or try the Polish Vodka Tasting. Kids enjoy amusement rides, the Little Circus show, and a crafters' village. Historical reenactors bring the 17th-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and WWII era to life. The Polish American String Band performs in Mummers costumes on the second Sunday. $15 admission includes unlimited midway rides. Free parking. Noon to 8 p.m. each day.
