One of the anticipated ethnic summer festivals in Detroit is the American Polish Festival. Did you know that Polish Americans are the second largest ethnic group in Michigan? According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Michigan is home to the third largest Polish population after New York & Illinois. With this many Poles living here, you have to put on a big festival.

This year, the festival is on July 7-9th, 2017 at the American Polish Century Club in Sterling Heights (33204 Maple Lane). It is three days of fantastic Polish food, a Pierogi eating contest (oops! ignore the spelling in the pics), Polka music, folk dances, beer tent, and Polish wearables & crafts for sale.
