Polish Fest is not just a festival, but a living educational showcase of the arts, culture and tradition that is uniquely Polish. Without this historical awareness, Polish-Americans and those from other ethnic origins cannot develop a full appreciation for the richness and diversity that is Poland’s cultural legacy. Money raised from Polish Fest is used in the form of scholarships, and costs associated with a variety of educational programs in folk art, music, language and cooking at the Polish Center of Wisconsin in Franklin.
