Bremond Polish Festival Days

From Bremond Polish Festival Days Website:

Bremond Polish Festival Days (Polski Dzien) started in 1987 by a small group of community volunteers wishing to bring families home to Bremond, the Polish Capital of Texas, for a celebration of their Polish heritage. The Event has also become a doorway used to introduce all visitors to Bremonds Polish culture and traditions.

Our Main Street Festival is held on the 4th weekend of June, in the downtown area of Bremond.

The event kicks off on Friday evening with a beauty pageant, margarita contest, live music, merchandise & food vendors, and the BBQ cook-off check-in.

Saturday morning dawns early with the 5K Polish Pickle Run boasting anywhere from 800-1,000 runners participating. A lovely opening ceremony featuring several Polish Welcoming Traditions; such as, blessing the event, singing of the American and Polish National Anthems, takes place before our hometown parade travels down Main Street!

Each year, we choose a Polish family to honor in the parade and with a special display at our museum. Other parade participants include, local politicians, news and radio celebrities, Polish dancers, local scouts, tractor and car clubs, horses, wagons and a unending array of local citizens and businesses with uniquely decorated floats, bikes, or ATVs.

The rest of the day is filled with lots of live music, dancing, shopping, delicious food and chances to play and win in one of many game tournaments. The Childrens Area keeps the young ones busy and entertained so Mom & Dad can have fun visiting with friends or a little shopping.

Each year our event features great entertainment, from authentic Polka bands and dancers to our big Saturday night street dance hosting popular artists, such as Earl Thomas Conley, Wade Bowen, Rick Trevino, & Doug Stone.

It is still our goal to share the Polish culture and cuisine through family fun, tradition and entertainment. By offering this unique experience to our visitors, our profits allow us to provide scholarships to graduating Seniors, assisting members of our community, promoting new business opportunities, beautification projects and maintenance of the downtown area.
