| Traditional Polish Christmas Dinner |
Wigilia is one of the most memorable and festive days of the Polish year. It marks the celebration of Christmas Eve. A festive and delicious meal is served at the appearance of the first star in the evening sky.

This formal dinner is usually set with family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation. Our dinner will offer a blend of traditional Polish and American cuisine. It will satisfy the most discriminating tastes. Traditional holiday music, old world desserts, and a variety of Polish traditional liquors including honey and/or cherry Nalewka will be included. Toasts are offered with peach Champagne. Great conversations and warm holiday memories will make the evening. | 4 | 0 | 000080.0 | 80 | .0005E7 | 50 | 12/14/24 4:30 PM | N | |
