Welcome back to Yorkville. This year, the Polish picnic sponsored by Polish Radio 1030 AM and Polish TV station, Polvision, will be held on Sunday, August 11th, from 11:00 AM to the sunset. The star of this year's picnic is a very popular Polish band, Formacja Niezywych Schabuff. It's a funny name and it translates loosely to Dead Pork Chops Formation. The band has been around for 25 years and it has some fine hits. Check it out below.

Besides the music, there are activities for kids and adults, games, great food, Polish beer, soccer match, lottery and much much more. This is the largest Polish picnic around Chicago so plan on joining the party! Parking is only $20 per car. Location: Polish National Alliance Youth Camp, 10701 River Rd, Yorkville, IL 60560
