MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Sto lat is a Polish Phrase than means "live to be 100." The key to sto lat is happiness, and for the Polish community, pierogis and polka on the lakefront are basically the same thing.
Thousands of pierogies will be eaten at Henry Maier Festival Park this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Milwaukee is home to the biggest Polish Fest in the country. People come from all over the world to visit the event.
"We really take pride in our culture and our traditions. I think we do a very nice job of representing the culture and we’re really proud of our heritage and that means something to people," said Janine Adamczyk, the entertainment chair for Polish Fest.
Polish Fest is offering $5 tickets before 5 p.m. Friday. They also have free admission during mass this Sunday. Mass starts at 10:15 a.m. with a 10 a.m. prelude.
