Description

These images show an early Polish festival held at the Gables in the 1970s. Dressing up in traditional Polish attire, food, and song and dance were common occurrences at these festivals, for which sections of Turner Street and Derby Street would often be blocked off. The Turner-Ingersoll mansion, on Turner Street, is visible in the right-hand side of many of these images.
