PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh will host the 26th annual Polish Festival from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 13 in the Commons Room of the Cathedral of Learning, 4200 Fifth Ave., Oakland.
The family-oriented Polish Festival, which is free and open to the public, will feature a variety of entertainment, crafts, food, and traditional folk music and dancing. There will be performances by the Lajkoniki folk dancers of McKeesport, and musician Radoslaw Fizek will perform traditional folk songs.
Festival participants include the Polish Arts League; Polska Folk Arts; Good Samaritan Parish, who will be offering baked goods; and egg decorator Lawrence Kozlowski. A holiday gift mart also will sell folk items and crafts.
The Nationality Rooms Program and the Polish Nationality Room Committee are sponsoring this event. Funds raised will help support the Polish Nationality Room Committee’s Summer Abroad Scholarship program, which enables one or two undergraduate or graduate students to study Polish culture and language abroad.
