USA, Canada / Pierogi Festivals across the States [17]
Pierogi Fest is always the last full weekend of July...I like to go and look around and sample Pieogis and other food too.
Whats cool about Pierogi Fest is that besides Polonia, other groups are represented and some have their own version of Pierogis...and you can sample food from other places too....if you're into shish kebabs, there is a Serbian guy who makes his own kebabs with lamb...Drago's kebabs.
And of course there are other Polish foods represented as well such as Globacki (Serbs and Croatians have their Sarma which is similar) and Polish Sausage....and then there is the famous Paczki which is served by Calumet Bakery.
Then there is the entertainment...polka groups including a pop group from Chicago called the Polkaholics have appeared over the years...there are also Dancers from various Polish groups too. And of course the parade complete with the Pierogi Queen and the Babushka Brigade.
As the time gets closer if anyone is interested in going let me know...always up for meeting some fellow Poles!!
