Sterling Heights, Michigan
The American Polish Century Club ( A.P.C.C. ), is an ethnic social and cultural organization. It’s purpose is to preserve the Polish culture and promote unity among peoples of Polish descent and their descendants. Located in Macomb County, Michigan, it extends its membership to the residents of Michigan, as well as other states. The club membership attempts to provide good fellowship and government of the club. Consequently, the members continue to support events —– namely, the annual “American Polish Festival” for the last twenty-nine years.
The American Polish festival was founded to celebrate Polish heritage and introduce metro-Detroit residents to talented chefs, artists and musicians from around the area. The festival offers a diverse mix of local music, art and Polish/American cuisine at a very reasonable cost.
The APCC members, aliong with the Warren Lions Club, held as a “Polish Kitchen” in Heimlich Park each June for several years in the sixties and early seventies. After outgrowing the facilities, the APCC decided to relocate the venue to Macomb County’s Freedom Hill Park.
In 2009, the Polish Festival came home, to the grounds of it’s club facilities in Sterling Heights.
For the 32nd straight year, our membership is hosting on one of Michigan’s largest three-day polish festivals over the weekend of July 6th to the 8th. In 2011, we had over 18,00 guests, and we’re looking forward to another great crowd this year having the festival on the grounds of our club! We have spent thousands of hours creating an event that has something to offer to everyone, in a child-friendly, safe and secure environment.
