Summer, we’re told, is right around the corner—and with it, the Milwaukee Summer Festival Season™. We’ll have a full summer festival guide when things thaw out in May, but until then, let’s talk about Polish Fest!

Yes, the charming and delightful Polish Fest is set to return to Henry Maier Festival Park June 9-11. The fest, dubbed “America’s Largest Polish Festival,” will run from noon until midnight on Friday and Saturday, and noon until 8 p.m. on Sunday. As always, there’ll be plenty of arts and crafts, food, cooking demonstrations, and vodka. Oh, and music, too! (And Mass on Sunday.) Here’s the musical lineup!
