Sweetest Heart of Mary - 2010 Pierogi Festival
On Sunday, August 15, 2010, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at Sweetest Heart of Mary's 28th Annual Pierogi Festival in Detroit, Michigan. The steamy wheather didn't stop the ensemble from presenting lively renditions of their Rzeszow, Sieradz, and Cieszyn suites as well as the Krakowiak and the Karolina Polka. After the performance, members of the ensemble remained at the festival to enjoy the sounds of Hamtramck's own Polish Muslims.
Wawel has a long standing and well established association with Sweetest Heart of Mary. In addition to performing yearly at the annual Pierogi Festival, the ensemble participates yearly in procession at their Christmas Eve Midnight Mass and Easter Sunday Resurrection Mass. Several members of the Ensemble were married at the Church - many members are also parishoners at the Church.

Wanda Park Veterans' Piknik
On Sunday, August 1, 2010, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at a fundraiser for the Polish Veterans at Wanda Park in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Wawel presented its Rzeszow and Sieradz suites and finished off the performance with the Karolina Polka. At the conclusion of the performance members of the ensemble and the audience alike joined in singing sto lat, to Donna Skurski, Wawel's Choreographer, in recognition of her birthday. After the performance members of the ensemble stayed at Wanda park enjoying live music, Polish food, and watching the White Eagles, S. C. match.
It was particularly fitting that an event in support of the Polish Veterans be held on August 1 as that marked the 66th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.
