🚇 Public Transit

Boston's public transit system, operated by the MBTA, offers convenient access to our festival grounds.

We want everyone to feel welcome at Polish Fest. While our main upstairs hall is not handicapped accessible, our downstairs bar area is accessible and open during the festival. If you have any questions or need assistance, our volunteers will be happy to help on the day of the event.

🐾 Pups at Polish Fest

We love our furry friends, and Polish Fest Boston is pet-friendly — with a few important guidelines to help keep everyone safe and comfortable:

Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome but must remain on a non-retractable leash at all times.
Owners must maintain full control of their pets and ensure they are not disruptive to other guests, vendors, or performers.
Clean up after your pet immediately. Waste bags will not be provided, so please come prepared.
Aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. Festival staff reserve the right to ask any pet owner to leave if their animal poses a risk or becomes a disturbance.
Pets are not allowed inside the Polish Club, but are welcome in outdoor areas
Service animals are welcome, per ADA guidelines.

👶 Kids Polish Fest Boston is a family-friendly celebration, and we’re excited to welcome guests of all ages — especially our littlest festivalgoers!

Children are welcome in all public areas of the festival, including the outdoor spaces, the downstairs bar, and the upstairs hall.
Please note: There is no elevator access to the upstairs hall. Families with strollers or accessibility needs may find the downstairs bar area and outdoor areas more suitable.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
Parents and guardians are responsible for their child’s safety, behavior, and comfort throughout the event.
Be sure to check out our Kids Korner and the merchandise table for pint-size apparel.
Strollers are welcome, but maneuvering them upstairs may be difficult due to limited space and stair access only.
We ask that children are respectful of performers, vendors, and other guests to ensure everyone has a great experience.

We look forward to seeing you at Polish Fest Boston!
