This is one of the craziest, most fun, energetic festivals in all of northwest Indiana," said Phil Taillon, CEO, Southshore Convention and Visitors Authority.
The polka parade, featuring the Polish grandmothers called Busha, twirling plungers, dancing pierogi, and more, is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday.Organizers and vendors alike are excited about this year’s music headliner, Sugar Ray, performing Saturday night on the Hard Rock Main Stage at 8:30 p.m.And don’t miss the "Are You Smarter Than a University of Chicago Physician?" game show contest, which takes place on Sunday at 1:30 p.m."Every year Peirogi Fest is different.
