This summer seems like there are so many choices of festivals to attend. Soooo, we decided to try some of the ones we never had time to go to before because we always seem to go to the same ones. lol
So I gave up the Chocolate Fest in Burlington (no great loss) and going to try to avoid some of the regular county fairs,and we are trying some of the different ones we only wondered about before.
So, last weekend we went to the Milwaukee's Polish Fest.
This was a really great festival. We had a very good time. We learned a ton of interesting information about 'old' Milwaukee and the Polish community.
We had a great time watching the different dancers and also the Polka Dance Contests! The singers were great to listen to and the food was awesome.
Being that it was on the lake front added a really nice atmosphere when you could eat your home made Polish food on a picnic table over looking the beautiful water.
I found the people working and walking around to be very friendly. The feeling as a 'whole' was a friendly, family oriented festvial.
The art and craft works was beautiful to view. We enjoyed looking at all the different books, bead work, etc.
To end off the evening a nice firework display over the Lake was great.
All and all we had a nice evening and would really like to go back again in the future.
