Polish Heritage Celebration In Valhalla (Valhalla, NY that is…)

From Westchester.com:

Immerse yourself in the culture, crafts, food and music of Poland at the 31st Annual Polish Heritage Celebration, Sunday July 20 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla.

The festivities include fun for people of all ages, with live Polka music, authentic Polish food and bakery items and dancers performing traditional Polish folk dances. The children of the Polska Subotnia Szkola group will recite poetry written by Nobel prize-winning Polish poets and sing traditional children’s folk songs. The event will also include a chance for visitors to meet this year’s Pulaski Day Parade marshal and the reigning Miss Polonia.

Festival-goers can view this year’s Polish-American cultural exhibit, which will feature portraits and biographies of renowned Polish and Polish-American figures and artwork detailing historic events in Polish history.

This event is sponsored by Westchester County Parks and the Westchester Pulaski Association.

The Kensico Dam Plaza is located at the north end of the Bronx River Parkway. And, for the first time this year, cultural heritage festival-goers can ride Westchester County’s BEE-LINE bus to Kensico Dam Plaza on Sundays; call (914) 813-7777 for more information.
