St. Joseph’s Polish Picnic

After a hiatus of three years due to the pandemic, the Polish Picnic is returning to the grounds of St. Joseph’s Church at 414 North Street on Sunday, July 16 from 12 to 5 pm. This 60-plus year tradition is one of the last ethnic festivals in Berkshire County.

A highlight of the Polish Picnic is the homemade Polish food for sale made by the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church, including pierogies, kapusta, golumbki, and kielbasa. The Eddie Forman Orchestra will entertain the crowd beginning at 1 pm. Bring a lawn chair to relax and enjoy the music or get up and dance to the polka. There will be raffles, games of chance, and a KiddyLand. There will also be American food and adult beverages for sale.

There is a one-dollar entry fee to the Picnic which includes chances to win door prizes. The Polish Picnic is open to the public and all ages are welcome.
