Join Meeples Indoors & Out for a relaxed evening at Chicago’s Taste of Polonia Festival!

This Labor Day tradition brings together live music, amazing food, cultural performances, and a warm community vibe, perfect for wandering, talking, and sharing some pierogi or sweets with friends old and new.

Our Style

No pressure, no rush — come and go as you please.

All welcome — solo, with friends, or family.

Low-key & fun — plenty of space for conversation and exploration.

Flexible Game Plan

4:00 PM – Meetup Spot: We’ll gather near the main entrance gate just inside, by the I Love Grill & Lemonade food vendor (easy to spot).

4:00–5:30 PM: Check out ODE (Balkan-folk indie rock) at the Theater Stage.

5:30–7:00 PM: Food time! Explore pierogi, sausages, zapiekanka, tacos, shaved ice, and more.

7:30–9:00 PM: End the night with Beatles vs. Stones on the Tribute Stage — a fun crowd favorite.

9:30 PM: Festival closes.

Helpful Tips

Transit: Blue Line to Jefferson Park or take the free festival shuttle from the Irish American Heritage Center.

Tickets: Save time by buying online before you go.

Dress for comfort — we’ll be moving between food, music, and conversation.
