Polishfest: Poland and its Neighbors Welcome You is designed to give everyone an opportunity to experience the living Polish, Lithuanian, Hungarian, and Carpatho-Rusyn and other cultures in the regions. These cultures represent 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. This family-oriented event is FREE to everyone and will include many activities such as Polish name writing; Lithuanian angel papercutting demonstration; pierogi / pirohy cooking demonstrations and samples; and Carpatho-Rusyn spinning and lace making; and a pierogi toss. Every display, demonstration, and activity will offer an explanation of the cultural history of the tradition.
