Abstract
ABSTRACT After examining the concept of festivals as ethnic practice and the scholarship on ethnic and heritage festivals among various ethnic groups in the US, including Cajuns and Czech, Scottish and German Americans, this paper utilizes a survey of Polish American festival organizers as well as public descriptions of Polish American festivals to determine why festival activists organize their events, what image of Polish American identity they try to project through their festivals, and how they account for issues of authenticity as Polish American neighborhoods continue to decline and the community becomes more diffused.
