DSNY Foundation is the author of the festival, which is be celebrated on the third Saturday of October each year. The idea behind the festival is threefold: to celebrate the speaking and preservation of the Polish language and culture in Polish-American communities, to encourage the new generations of Polish-American children to learn and invest in the functional knowledge of the language of their ancestors and to reach out to everyone who is interested in all things Polish: past, present and future. Festival celebrates the achievements and contributions of Polish-Americans and their impact on American life and history.

Every year in October DSNY Foundation organizes festival “bilingually”, with fun and educational activities available both in Polish and English. Guests have a chance to sample Polish food, dance, music, art, history, fun facts about Poland and Polish-Americans, a puppet theater for children and also to connect with people and organizations who advocate for the Polish interests in the United States. Experts on bilingual education invite everybody to talks on the benefits of being bilingual and rising bilingual children.
