Cultural/educational : Entire room dedicated to Polish History, Polish Americans, Poland attractions, with movie about Poland on a large TV screen. Music/dance: Nice national costumes and dance.

I was apprehensive about attending this community event because I only heard about it the day…read morebefore via Facebook events, and I didn't see too many reviews from recent history. However, let me be the voice that convinces you to go! It was quite kitschy, with local vendors selling German (sometimes just generally European) trinkets, crockery, snacks, and traditional German attire. That was of course in addition to the multiple food vendors and bakers and the MD German Association selling a la carte plates, where you could pick from multiple kinds of wurst sausage, schnitzel on a roll, sauerkraut, potato salad, pickles, and landjagerwurst dried sausage. For two full plates, it was $35, which I thought was a great deal, and they took card/Apple Pay. The MD German Association also had a couple beer tables where you could buy either by the cup ($8) or pitcher, and a wine/spirits table ($5 Bee Sting/Jagermeister shot). I bought my $15 ticket online, which came with some fees, but if I come again, I'll just buy with cash at the door to save a few bucks. They had a full performance schedule, including choreographed dancing, some dancing with audience participation, and a choir. My absolute favorite part was the barrel march, where all the performers walked behind a set of men carrying a small child balanced on a 4ft-diameter barrel on their shoulders. It felt so silly yet so fun. Fairly priced food and drinks, and I'm salivating right now just thinking about the strudel I brought home. Free parking at the MD State Fair Grounds in an air-conditioned building with rows of tables and chairs for 200+.

It was a joy being able to learn about the culture and try some amazing food! Everyone we encountered was super friendly and accommodating.

I am happy to see that this is an annual event, I definitely look forward to attending this festival next year!

Where else can you get a super sandwich for $1.79?! Second - the décor. It's 21st-century open-concept kitchen crossed with a 1950's diner vibe. I dig it. I especially like being able to see the chefs at work. So, on top of some usual diner staples, the chef experiments with some very avant-garde dishes for the daily specials. Come with an open mind, but just know that they're not ALL winners. One of my dining companions got the Special, which was a soup made with a T-bone steak, half a watermelon, a whole loaf of bread, and variety of vegetables. Ummm... weird. I got the steak and eggs, which were so overcooked, I daresay inedible, almost like eating plastic. Service was hit or miss. It seems like everyone is a chef but also a waiter... and also in charge of the dishes? They seemed paradoxically understaffed and overstaffed at the same time. To their credit, they get the food out to you in less than a minute after you order it! For all its flaws, Tiny's is the place to go when you're downtown.

I would like to see more interactive activities for the 8-10 year old group as the activities we found for kids were heavily geared towards a much younger age group (puppet show, wing decorating, coloring, etc). I would pay an additional fee for more involved activities and crafts. The Fairy Hunter was a lot of fun. I don't know if he's officially part of the festival entertainment but he should be.
