An estimated 20,000 people are expected in Clinton Square to enjoy music, food, and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>The free festival has become a staple in the city, and provides enjoyment for the entire family. The festivities kick off Friday at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>A variety of entertainment, including polka music and rock bands will take the stage. You can also expect to sample and purchase Polish food staples, such as pierogies and kielbasa. There will even be vendors on hand selling everything from clothing to jewelry.<\/p>\n<p>According to organizers, the event has been a major success throughout its long history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Polish people are very strong people. And, we&#8217;re very proud of our heritage. And, we&#8217;d like it to continue. And, we have quite a few volunteers that have helped throughout the years,&#8221; said Nancy Cummings, the vice president of the Polish Scholarship Fund.<\/p>\n<p>The event is hosted by the non-profit Polish Scholarship Fund. Funds raised will provide scholarships for young men and women of Polish descent going to college or trade school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8211; See more at:
