Polish Town Street Fair and Festival

The Polish Town Street Fair and Festival, after being on the shelf since 2020, will be back in this year, Polish Town Civic Association President Kevin Davis said in an interview yesterday. 

The Polish Town Fair and Street Festival has been canceled again this year, a representative of the Polish Town Civic Association, which sponsors the fair, told RiverheadLOCAL today.

The Polish Town Street Fair and Festival is canceled again this year. The cancellation marks the third consecutive year that the iconic street fair and festival, which had been held on the second weekend in August since its inception in 1975, will not take place.

It's Polish Fair weekend in Riverhead — that means Polka music, kielbasa, pierogi, golumpki, babkas and beer. Photos from Polish Town USA as the 45th annual fair got underway Saturday.

It's a perennial favorite in Riverhead — a giant open air market where visitors can enjoy Polish food and music while browsing hundreds of booths featuring every kind of merchandise imaginable.

Sunshine returned to Polish Town USA this year and crowds flocked to the 43rd Annual Polish Town Street Fair and Festival today in Riverhead.

Polish Town, USA had its annual street fair and festival today, after all. The unexpected deluge this morning put a real damper on the fair’s opening traditions.
