Milton was full of energy as The Polish Club welcomed visitors for its popular monthly Market Day, with a special guest appearance adding excitement to the local event.
A Lively Day in Milton
The Polish Club Milton’s Market Day brought together people from across Brisbane to enjoy authentic Polish food, crafts, and a warm community spirit.
Traditional Polish hospitality was on show, with the sharing of bread and salt, and everyone enjoyed the flavours of home-baked pastries and other treats.
The event took place on 26 July 2025, highlighting the club’s role in bringing people together through culture and connection.
Visitors, including Queensland Premier David Crisafulli, explored market stalls alongside the Club’s President, Stan Macionis, and Honorary Consul for Poland in Queensland, Dr Theresa Lauf. The Premier mingled with the crowd, trying local foods and chatting with market-goers, as Milton locals embraced the atmosphere.
Milton’s Polish Club: A Place for Everyone
Founded in 1953, The Polish Club Milton remains a meeting place for both the Polish-Australian community and anyone interested in learning about Polish culture. Market Day is a regular highlight, run by volunteers and offering a taste of Poland in the heart of Milton. The club also provides venue space for community groups and local events, helping build connections across the city.
Continuing the Tradition
Club President Stan Macionis said he was grateful for all the support the club receives, noting how important it is for cultural organisations to have a place in the local area.
“We were delighted to host Premier Crisafulli and deeply appreciate his recognition of the important role ethnic community clubs like ours play in enriching Queensland’s multicultural fabric, particularly as we look forward to Brisbane hosting the Olympics in 2032. His visit was a meaningful show of support for our volunteers, our Polish small business stallholders, and
the broader Polish-Australian community,” said Macionis.
“Together with our Honorary Consul, Dr Theresa Lauf, we look forward to supporting the Queensland Government in its work with multicultural communities and stand ready to provide assistance as needed, both for forward planning for major events and otherwise.”
The Polish Club Milton plans to keep welcoming the community with monthly Market Days and cultural events. Event details are available on the club’s website, with highlights and photos shared on social media.
