WIOSNA Polish Spring Festival 2026

WIOSNA - Polish Spring Festival is Queensland's largest Polish festival, held today from 10am to 4pm at the Polish Ex-Servicemen's Association (SPK) in Capalaba. Free entry, no booking required.

"Wiosna" means Spring in Polish, and that's what this festival celebrates: a season of renewal, community and joy. Expect colourful cultural performances, traditional Polish music and dance, authentic folk costumes, artisan gift and craft stalls, hands-on activities for children, an art exhibition, and plenty of delicious Polish food.

Set in a beautiful open space surrounded by trees, WIOSNA has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with something happening all day. There's an open playground where kids can run and play while the grown-ups soak up the festival atmosphere.
