ABOUT US

In the year 2003, by decision of the Parish Council and supported by the local parish, it was decided to organize the First Polish Festival. We had no experience, but we had the courage of our parishioners that gave us the strength and faith hat to go on. Our parishioners financially supported the festival, and worked vigorously before, during, and after the festival. The music program was rather poor, but all applauded each person’s performance, bands from Tuscon, as well as a local school team. The first festival was a success in every aspect, including those financial. Therefore, with great optimism, the next festival’s organizations were easier. The pros and cons brought to our attention have allowed for better and more efficient organization in the years to follow. We placed great value on artistic part of the program, which was an important point of the festival. With each year, more performing teams were invited. The first team that visited us was Stella Polonia from Canada.

Admission to the Annual Polish Festival is free.
Merchandise can be purchased directly from the vendors.
All foods and beverages can be purchased with tickets.

What people say about us…

Thank you to all of you who worked so hard to make the Polish Festival a success. Our family was there on Saturday. We greatly enjoyed the entertainment and the food. The food was delicious and I know many many hours of hard work went into it. Everyone was helpful, kind and pleasant. I tried to offer a tip to the shuttle driver and he would not take it. He was doing it because he loves the Polish community. That was the feeling I got from all the workers. Thank you all again, for your hard work. We know it came from your heart. We look forward to the next festival. Bardzo Dziękuję!

Piast Polish Dance Group from Las Vegas, Nevada

In 2012, the Polish community in Las Vegas began to dream about how to celebrate and share their culture. Comprised of a joyous group of friends and family, Piast was formed as the 1st Adult Polish Dance Group in Las Vegas. In the beginning, Piast had dancers with decades of dance experience and many with none. We started to take the world by storm with the help of our experienced choreographers and our dancer’s tenacity to learn. Years later, we have danced in many festivals, from Los Angeles to Tucson to Rzeszów!
