For nearly a century, the vibrant regional Polish-American community has organized festivals at the Capitol Hill community center.

Polish Festival Seattle is produced by Polish Home Foundation of Seattle in partnership with Seattle Center and presented in conjunction with Seattle Center Cultural Programs.
