Paczki Day 2021: Where To Find Paczki In Downers Grove

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Fat Tuesday comes but once a year, and with it the promise of those deep-fried Polish confections that many find as hard to resist as they can be to pronounce: paczki. The beloved donut-like treats will be available in and around Downers Grove on Paczki Day 2021, which falls on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Some bakeries require paczki pre-orders before Fat Tuesday and others will have a limited amount of paczki on Feb. 16. Here's a roundup of where you can buy paczki in the area.
