ANDRZEJKI
Come and help us celebrate ‘Andrzejki’ on 30 November.
In Poland, during the long, chilly night in November, Polish people get together for Andrzejki, the eve of St. Andrew’s Day. Traditionally, it’s a night of magic, spirituality, mischief, fortune-telling, mysticism and surprises.
For centuries, this day has been significant, especially for young unmarried women, as it was believed that Saint Andrew would provide information about their future husband.
Many traditional games were played throughout the evening in attempt to find out who might be a young girl’s future husband.
The evening kicks off at 6.00pm. Music by Szczepan from Sydney. Dancing, food and champagne. Canberra's Folkloric Dance Group 'Wielkopolska' will perform.
Come for a fun night!
The ticket price includes dinner.
