2024 Little Poland Festival Planned For June 9th

The 2024 New Britain Little Poland Festival is planned for June 9th, the Festival’s website announces.

“Save the date!” the website announces. “The 2024 Festival is Sunday, June 9.” Festival organizers say,

The Polonia Business Association is proud to announce that we will be celebrating the 11th edition of the Little Poland Festival. With leaping folk dancers, live music, mouth watering food, carnival rides, costumed characters and over 100 vendors, the Little Poland Festival has become the largest Polish Cultural Festival in New England. It has become an annual tradition for families to celebrate Polish culture.

The popular New Britain cultural and community event is traditionally held from morning to evening in springtime in New Britain’s vibrant Broad Street “Little Poland” neighborhood. Festival organizers have announced that, “Vendors set up is 9AM. Official Festival Start Time is 11 AM.”

Last year, tens of thousands of people again thronged Broad Street in 2023 in celebration of New Britain’s Little Poland Festival. The popular celebration of Polish culture, music and cuisine attracted huge crowds of people from New Britain, the state and beyond.

The Little Poland Festival organizers say that the event,

is held on New Britain’s Broad Street stretching from the Washington Street to the Silver Street intersections with vendors, entertainment stages, and attractions spread out over 5 blocks! Parking for the festival is available on side streets and the Badolato Parking Garage in downtown New Britain (2 blocks from the festival). Handicap parking is available free of charge behind the Polam Federal Credit Union at 55 Broad Street. Handicap signage is required to use to Polam lot to avoid being towed.

From its humble beginnings,” Festival organizers have said that, “the Little Poland Festival has grown into one of the largest cultural events in the state and one of the largest Polish American festivals in the country.”
