Midlands Polish Community to host Family Festival celebrating Polish Independence Day

The Midlands Polish Community will host a special Family Festival celebrating Poland’s National Independence Day this weekend.

The event will take place on Sunday, November 15, from 12pm to 4pm at Drum Community Centre (N37 T298), bringing the community together for an afternoon of Polish food, entertainment and traditional celebrations.

Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a taste of Poland, with a selection of traditional favourites on offer, including grilled Polish sausage, homemade-style pierogi and traditional pea soup. Polish wine will also be available to sample, with bottles available to purchase.

There will be plenty of entertainment and activities for visitors of all ages. Children can enjoy an inflatable castle and face painting, while workshops and competitions will provide opportunities for families to get involved. The programme will also feature historical reenactment displays and performances by folklore groups.

One of the highlights of the afternoon will be a community singalong of the Polish National Anthem, bringing everyone together to mark the occasion.

Organisers say the festival will provide an opportunity for the Polish community to reconnect, celebrate its heritage and share its traditions with younger generations, while welcoming people from all backgrounds to experience Polish culture.
