Polish Festival, Boyne Falls
Northern Michigan has a strong Polish history. Check out the mailboxes, lots of ****ski’s here! To celebrate, there is an annual Polish Festival, held in Boyne Falls, MI. It is very popular and well attended. The parade, and exhibits, reflect the strong roots in both the automotive industry and agriculture. And not to forget the food… kielbasa sausage, pierogies, and much more, made in old country fashion. Guess the diet is going to have to wait a little longer….
