The Portland Polish Festival is an annual festival in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] As many as 10,000 people attend the two-day event, which started as an annual dinner at St. Stanislaus Church.[2][3] The festival features dancing, music (including polka), performances, and Polish cuisine.[2][4] There are also exhibits about Polish culture and history.[5] The Portland Mercury has said the event "is hands-down one of the best outdoor shindigs of the year".[6]

The 2020 and 2021 events were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 event was also cancelled.[7][8]
