Polish Festival Seattle has been created to celebrate Polish cultural traditions with wide audiences of the city of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. For nearly a century, the vibrant Polish American community in the Pacific Northwest has organized festivals in their own community center in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

This year, coinciding with Seattle Center’s The NextFifty jubilee, marks an inaugural production of the Polish Festival at the Seattle Center (Playhouse / Intiman Theater and its courtyard). We hope you will join us on September 30, 2012 for this wonderful new event.
