8th Polish Street Festival - August 25th, 2018
For the 8th time East Bay Polish American Association is organizing Polish Street Festival in Martinez. This year the festival will take place on Saturday, August 25th from 10:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening at Our Lady Mother of Immigrants Chapel, on 909 Mellus Street in Martinez. Mellus Street and Las Juntas Street will be closed off during the event. We invited local Polish artists and organizations which will surely add to the Polish feel. Since we are closing off two of the streets there will be plenty of space for the visitors and vendors. If anyone is interested in displaying their art and talents, please reserve your spot by calling Iwona Urbaniak (925)9 or Richard Mleczko (925) 759-5872. Although this is a Polish Festival all artists and organizations are welcomed and encouraged to take part regardless of their ethnic background.
There will be fun for all ages including our youngest participants. Like every other festival of this sort, especially a Polish one, there has to be mention of authentic Polish cuisine. We know some of us have great artistic abilities but equally the abilities to be a great cook are as important, especially when it come to Polish cooking! You will not eat any canned or defrosted food at this festival. Our dishes will be freshly prepared for you by our lovely ladies just the way you had it at your grandma’s house. Everything will be prepared using authentic recipes and by real Polish cooks! Outside the cafeteria, we will also have a booth, offering Polska Kielbasa straight off the grill, homemade Bigos (hunter's stew made from sauerkraut and meat), Pierogi (cheese or meat dumplings), Golabki (cabbage rolls).. For those wanting to sit down for a true Polish meal, inside the cafeteria our kitchen will provide you with a scrumptious Polish experience.
In the cafeteria we will also offer authentic Polish Deli items, provided by Jozef and Jerzy Sikora, who will transport a portion of their store “Seakor Deli” from San Francisco in order to satisfy all your cravings.
The only thing that could make each meal even more satisfying. The best quality of European beer of course! We will have the best quality beer available to satisfy your thirst from morning until the evening hours. For those wanting to enjoy their meal with a glass of something more soothing, we will offer California wine and none alcoholic beverages.
After a delicious meal, cold beer and socializing there will still be room for entertainment. Our main stage will be located in the center of the event surrounded by all the festivities. During day artists from all age groups will present their talents to us.
