POLISH TAVERN CHRISTMAS
In Buffalo's Polonia (as with Poles all over the world), Christmas is the most anticipated day of the year. Specifically Christmas Eve, when months of preparation culminate in a joyous celebration of family, friends, faith and feast. Join us as we recreate a Christmas Eve circa 1963, complete with a traditional Wigilia dinner, a visit to a beautiful historic church and Christmas caroling accompanied by our very own Forgotten Buffalo Orchestra. These tours sell out quickly. If you wait too long all you'll get is a lump of coal.
