The 41st annual Polish Town Fair and Polka Festival was held this weekend in Riverhead’s Polish Town.

Despite the ninety degree heat, thousands of people roamed the streets of Polish Town, enjoying traditional foods, shopping at one of many craft and vendor booths and attending a variety of demonstrations.
