This is one of only 20 "Polish Fest Milwaukee" photo results on Yahoo search that allows re-posting on other websites. Thanks, mjuzenas of flickr

This Friday through Sunday (6/18 – 6/20), the Summerfest grounds will be abuzz with the noises, smells, and nasty hip-hop associated with Polish fest. Let me check the schedule to verify that last sentence.

OK…so it’s going to be Polka Central, but you know what? Embrace it! What else ya gonna do? Try to hack your iPad to show flash-based porn sites? No, you’re gonna drag yourself down to the grounds, eat some Polish grub, drink some Tyskie beer, and dance to some polka music. Sure, you may not be Polish at all but in Milwaukee you can probably fake it for a least a few hours.

Polish Fest 2010. Friday through Saturday. $12 at the gate.
