5th Polish Street Festival - August 29th, 2015
For the 5th time,
the East Bay Polish American Association is organizing a Polish Street Festival
in Martinez. This
year, the festival will take place on Saturday, August 29th from 10:00 am to
6:00 pm 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 festival. We have invited local
Polish artists and organizations, which will surely add to the Polish
feel. Since we are closing off two streets, there will be plenty of space
for everyone. If anyone is interested in displaying their art and
talent, please reserve your spot by calling Richard Mleczko at (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 comes to Polish cooking! For those wanting to sit down for a true Polish meal, inside the cafeteria our kitchen will provide you with a scrumptious Polish experience. You will not eat any canned or defrosted food at this festival. Our food 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 Polish kielbasa straight off a grill, homemade bigos (hunter's stew made from sauerkraut and meat) and we can’t forget about everyone’s favorite, kotlety schabowe (wienerschnitzel).
What is Polish food without pierogi? We are very delighted to have at our event another Polish vendor from Saratoga, South Bay - Polska Foods, Inc, They do produce their own pierogi with several fillings. You simply have to stop by their booth and try homemade pierogi.
In the cafeteria, we will also offer authentic Polish Deli for sale, 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 the day, artists from all age groups will present their talents to us. Please check just released our Artistic Program created by Piotr Filipowski and Marcin Danek.
Please mark your calendars, tell your friends and do not miss our event!
