The program is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., and doors will open half an hour earlier. The celebration will be held at the consulate at 233 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, at a spot known as Jan Karski Corner.
The program includes the presentation of state decorations, awards for winners of this year’s “Outstanding Pole in the USA” (“Wybitny Polak w USA”) competition, and artistic performances.
Registration is online. A link to the form is in the consulate’s announcement on the gov.pl portal. The consulate did not provide information about fees or additional conditions for attending; the only requirement is signing up in advance.
National Independence Day commemorates Poland’s regaining of independence in 1918. In the United States, it is observed by consulates, Polish-American organizations and parishes. In many places, celebrations take place in the days before and after Nov. 11.
