Come celebrate Polish culture and heritage at the 46th annual Polish American Arts Festival in Cheektowaga, New York! This FREE, family-friendly event runs July 24–26, 2026 at Cheektowaga Town Park and offers a welcoming, old-school festival atmosphere with something for everyone. Enjoy authentic, world-class music, delicious Polish and Eastern European cuisine, a beer and wine garden, sheltered dining areas, and a wide range of cultural experiences.
Festival highlights include ongoing demonstrations and lectures in the Heritage Bazaar Marketplace, as well as an Artisan Craft Fair featuring unique, handcrafted items.
The Polish Genealogical Society of New York State will have a table at the festival — stop by to learn more about our work and resources. For details, please visit the event’s website or check out their Facebook page. Updates are often posted there as the festival approaches.
