Dozynki is a Harvest Festival traditionally done in Poland when the final harvest is complete.
In New Britain it is a chance not only to celebrate the end of the harvest season, but the Polish community and its traditions.
Thirty-three years ago, three people got together and decided with the large Polish population to recreate the celebration right in New Britian. Originally, it was a 3-day street festival on Broad St. from Friday through Sunday. It drew people from all over New England and New York.
The decision was made 16 years ago to move it to Falcon Field on Farmington Ave., more appropriate setting, because it was a celebration done in the fields.
