CT: Little Poland Festival in New Britain

New Britain, Connecticut has one of the largest and most vibrant Polish communities on the East Coast. The Little Poland Festival was first held in 2012 to celebrate Polish culture and heritage and to highlight the city’s Polish neighborhood known as Little Poland.

Over the years, the festival grew from 600 participants to over 20,000 who attended last year, many traveling to New Britain for our event from across New England and beyond.

Today, the Little Poland Festival is the highlight of the local Polish calendar and attracts a diverse crowd looking to experience great food, fantastic entertainment and have an overall good time at the first local outdoor festival of the season.

With leaping folk dancers, live music, arts and crafts, unique shopping, amazing food, costumed characters, carnival rides and activities for the young and young at heart, the Little Poland Festival is one of the fastest growing family friendly festivals of its kind in Connecticut. And the best part? Admission is only a smile.

The Festival is held right in the heart of New Britain's historic Little Poland neighborhood where you can find over 100 businesses including NY Times reviewed restaurants, award winning bakeries, world class delis, gift shops, day spas, art galleries, banks, law firms, newspapers and a host of other services. Last year over 20,000 people attended the Little Poland Festival. Let's see if we can break the record in 2017.
