Polish Booth on Lexington Avenue in New York on Sunday, September 18, 2016 12pm - 5pm

11 sierpnia, 2016

92nd Street Y Street Festival, running along Lexington Avenue from 79th to 96th Streets, is one of New York City's most popular family street fairs with an array of offerings ranging from music, dance and spoken-word performances to "International Way," a cultural exhibition featuring several countries.

The Polish Cultural Institute New York (PCINY) has traditionally taken part in the festival.

Visitors to the PCINYs booth will find information about Poland's heritage and thriving contemporary art world, the fruits of which can often be seen in the US. Our curators for music, literature, and film will be on hand to tell you more about the PCINY's exciting programs.

This year, we are celebrating the legacy of Henryk Sienkiewicz, the most outstanding and prolific Polish writer of the second half of the nineteenth century, who in 1905 won the Nobel Prize for Literature. We will be inviting guests to read excerpts from his prose.
