STALLS

 

Showcasing Polish culture in the centre of Melbourne

 

• Are you a Polish Organisation?

• Do you have a business selling Polish products and/or services?
• Would you like to be part of the Polish Festival?

 

The Polish Festival @ Federation Square is a fantastic opportunity to bring your business or organisation to the attention of the Melbourne community and increase your exposure.

 

In 2018 we are once again seeking to expand the Polish “taste” experience by increasing the diversity of Polish dishes and refreshments. When deciding on the nature of your stall, we encourage you to consider including a variety of dishes not previously showcased at the festival, but ones that are common in Polish kitchens, such as the delectable kopytka z sosem, gulasz z miesem, bigos z chlebem or even barszcz z uszkami. We are particularly interested in someone setting up a refreshment (non-alcoholic) stall in the form of a kafejka (café) on the River Terrace with tables and chairs.

 

It’s important to note that being Polish isn’t a prerequisite for holding a stall at the festival – in fact, we encourage non-Poles to join us. You just need to be keen to present Melbourne with a taste of Poland through goods and services  associated with Poland.

 

How to be a stall holder

 

If you wish to participate, download and complete the appropriate Expression of Interest

We thank you for your interest and look forward to working with you to bring a taste of Poland to Melbourne at the Polish Festival @ Federation Square.
