Where can I find Polish Festivals in Southern New England, USA?

Witam wszystkich,

I am from Rhode Island, USA and used to go to a Polish Church (St. Casimir's) that had 3 polish festivals per year, with great homemade Polish food, Polish music (Mike's Polka Kings), dancing, and lots of fun. Unfortunately, the church was closed and I have been missing the company of Polish food and friends. Does anyone know of any Polish Festivals in Southern New England coming up over the summer months? Thanks!

-->Evan

P.S.-This is by first post, I just registered today! Any good tips on navigating the site and/or communicating more efficiently?

Hi, Yes, although a good one in Fall River just passed that I missed. There is one in Bristol, Ct. St. Stanislaus Church. Sept 12th and 13th. I just contacted them. It should be pretty good!

There is a Polish Festival in New Britain, CT during the summer time called Dożynki. It usually takes place at the end of summer.
