Wianki Festival - Washington, D.C. 2009
20 June 2009
A beautiful Summer evening at the Lincoln Memorial and once again the Washington D.C. based Polish American Arts Association presented the Third Annual Wianki Festival. This year's event witnessed the biggest crowd ever with an additional dance group from Philadelphia that added to a full program of dancing, music, and the traditional wreath-making which highlights the evening's entertainment. A large number of local Polish citizens from D.C.'s international community attended, along with the usual multi-ethnic D.C. crowd and various tourists who happen to accidentally bump into this unusual gathering. The professional dancing and public dancing went on until 10 o'clock in the evening. Contact the Polish American Arts Association for additional information and a complete listing of local and national events pertaining to the Polish and Polish/American communities.
