Default Pulaski Day Parade?
OK, so the city and county and schools will be closed for Pulaski Day tomorrow. Is there a parade or something - anybody know where and/or when? Being 1/4 Polish it's not often we're celebrated other than with sausages or ethnic jokes. I found info on the New York parade in October but nothing here.

There was a big celebration at Navy Pier today. Not sure on a parade. Check out the city's website.

More specifically, he was a Polish national fighting for the colonial cause. It's an official holiday in Illinois owing to the huge Polish population here in Chicago. In this city it's basically the Polish version of St. Patrick's Day.

That's cool that schools are out- had no idea!

No one gets off for St. Patrick's Day do they?

Default Polish Constitution Day
The biggest Polish parade is for constitution day -- there's usually better weather on this date, also. I think its in May or thereabouts.
