Last Day for Polish Country Fair, Memorial Day Tradition

ORCHARD LAKE, MI – You still have one more day to enjoy a Michigan tradition for 45 years, the St. Mary’s Polish Country Fair.

The celebration that began Friday continues through Monday, Memorial Day. It offers authentic Polish and American food, live entertainment, carnival rides, including an 80-foot roller coaster, games, art on display and other festival events.

Memorial Day hours for the event at St. Mary’s Campus at 2535 Commerce Road, Orchard Lake, are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

About 125,000 "staycationers" who want to avoid Memorial Day traffic make this part of their annual celebration, according to St. Mary’s Preparatory School, which hosts the festival.
