Poland's Independence Day 2018 (100 Year Anniversary)

I am seriously considering traveling to Poland for the celebration of 100 years of regaining it's independence in November to take in the festivities. I've travelled to Poland before (Cracow and Zakopane), but am assuming the best place to take things in this go around would be Warsaw. I am an American of Polish decent and had a great time last time I was there with no issues at all. Before I get too far down the road, is there any reason to think the experience would be different this time? Or should I expect more of the same great hospitality I got last time I was in the country? Thanks in advance for the replies.

How about Borowski and Welninski? I apologize if these have been answered already, but didn't see them when I used the search function. Thanks!
