Polish Cultural Days in Port Coquitlam

 

The 10th annual Polish Cultural Days organized by Polonez Tri-City Association were a huge success again this year.   An army of volunteers and attending guests all enjoyed the amazing artistic performances, fun competitions and, of course, the great company of friends from all over BC and, even, Seattle.  The delicious Polish food, beer and great weather all contributed to an outstanding two day event.  Many local Canadian families also enjoyed the food and festivities.  The  bilingual announcements helped everyone present understand and celebrate our beautiful culture.

 

Here are pictures from two days of celebrating Polonia and Polish Culture.
