2013 Polish picnic at Yorkville, Illinois

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.

Other bands include Wishing Well, Przystanek Polskie Granie and DJ Mike. 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

Yorkville Polish picnic - it was fun!

The Yorkville, IL, "Picnic of Picnics" at Yorkville, sponsored by Radio 1030 AM and TV Polvision was quite fun.  Everyone could find something good: delicious Polish food, Zywiec beer, life entertainment for both adults and children, and gorgeous weather. 

The Marszalek Band delivered a great show.  Straight from Poland, the star of the evening, Agnieszka Wlodarczyk, performed some songs from her album and some covers.  Judging from the applause, the guys were especially happy.  

I'm not sure how many people showed up but they had to open a secondary parking lot to accommodate all the cars.

I have to agree with the comments on the 1030 AM radio, there were a lot of smiling faces of happy people at the picnic.
