Polanie’s Masquerade Ball is an elegant, high‑energy evening that occurs around Halloween every year. Guests arrive in creative costumes, in which they can participate in costume contests, as well as 50/50 draws on top of many door prizes. The night features a Polish traditional dinner, performances, a DJ for the after party, and a warm, community‑focused atmosphere that Polanie is known for. It’s not just a fundraiser or social event—it’s a signature tradition that brings together alumni, families, supporters, and friends for a night of unforgettable memories.

Polanie has regularly trained with instructors from Śląsk Song and Dance Ensemble in Koszęcin, Poland. The Summer of 2026, for the first time, Polanie trained with instructors from Mazowsze National Folk Song and Dance Ensemble in Karolina, Poland. Our dancers elevated their skills to prepare for their 50th anniversary gala. They also had the opportunity to tour the Center of Polish Folklore which will enrich their knowledge of Polish culture.

Since 1989 Polanie has been performing at the The World Festival of Polish Diaspora Folk Dance Groups in Rzeszów, Poland.  This year marks the 20th anniversary of this world renowned festival. Earlier this year, Polanie trained with the Artistic Director of this festival Mr. Janusz Chojecki to prepare for their performances. Polanie will be representing Calgary at this event on July 15 to July 21, 2026.
