The Polishfest Festival is designed to give the festival guests, families, and students an opportunity to experience the living cultures of the Polish, Lithuanian and Carpatho-Rusyn Peoples that throughout history were joined, separated and independently are connected. A living legacy presented to teach, to experience, to taste, to try and to have fun.

The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies is proud to sponsor the 9th edition of the RFF titled Homelands. This year's festival reflects on current events, while celebrating the power of film to map out new meanings into a world where people have been displaced by wars, economic crises, political instability, and natural disasters.

This event gathers all of the best tacos in one place for a fun, family-friendly event featuring live entertainment and 25+ food trucks, street vendors, and restaurants, as well specialty drinks, beer, and liquor vendors, an art market from Redfishbowl, and family fun activities. The event celebrates community and is produced with the support of the Pittsburgh Hispanic Development Corporation and Latin American Cultural Union and a portion of proceeds directly benefit these organizations. https://www.pghtacofest.com
