River Polonia Parade

During the picnic, we are planning to organize a 30-minute raft float (River Polonia Parade) down the Huron River. We plan to float from the bridge in Dexter to the picnic site in Dexter-Huron Metropark. The parade will be led and organized by Wojciech Szeliga .

This short stretch of the river is very calm, without any rapids, and you can participate using any floating device (including an air mattress) . The parade will start at 3:00pm. The starting point is about a 10-minute drive upstream from the picnic site. We can provide transportation for participants, as long as their floating equipment is of an appropriate size. All interested participants are kindly asked to bring their own floating device, as well as flags, scarves, pennants, and other Polish-themed items to highlight the festive character of the parade.

Please note that all participants take part in all the events at their own risk.
