Pulaski Collage Photos
A sollage of images around the village of Pulaski including polka grounds, church, and other community staples
Pulaski is a small but mighty village with a rich history.
Located about 20 miles west of Green Bay and Lambeau Field, the village of Pulaski makes for a lovely trip to see some of the rural landscape of the area. They’ve got everything from big events that invite you to don your dancing shoes and tickle your tastebuds with booyah straight from kettles to smaller events that call for hot dogs from the concession stand and concerts in the park close to golden hour.
Whatever you choose to do in Pulaski, be sure to make time to chat with locals. Ask us about the family farms or the high school marching band, or the famous individuals that have called Pulaski home over the years. It’s called “Pulaski Pride” and it tends to turn strangers into friends.

POLKA, POLKA, POLKA
One of the things Pulaski is best known for is polka. Pulaski actually hosts an annual Pulaski Polka Days event every summer and it’s one of the largest festivals dedicated to the Polish community in the United States!
The four-day festival kicks off with a community night and fireworks on Thursday night. Then, throughout the weekend, you can enjoy polka bands from all over the country, dance lessons, a large craft fair, and a Ms. Pulaski Polka Days contest. On Sunday, you are welcome to enjoy a delicious “Pancake & Porkie” breakfast followed by the Polka Day parade and traditional Polish Catholic Mass.
ENJOY THE OUTDOORS
The Mountain Bay State Trail is an 83-mile long trail with a trailhead in Pulaski. It is one of the longest rail trails in Wisconsin (rail trails are multipurpose public paths created from former railroad corridors). The trail covers several counties and the scenic, wooded route is perfect for walking, biking and even cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter.
In Pulaski, Mountain Bay State Trail is adjacent to Pulaski Community Park, a lovely natural environment perfect for relaxation and forest-bathing. Take a stroll along the ponds at sunset or catch a came of disc golf for an engaging group activity.
Veterans Memorial Park Is a great place to stretch your legs and play for a few hours! It has everything: a nice playground for the kids, picnic tables, basketball, volleyball and horseshoe courts, restrooms and lots of green space to enjoy. Honor our veterans when you visit the brand-new memorial at the entrance to the park. During the summer, enjoy a free concert on Sunday afternoons as part of the “Music at Memorial” series.
Shippy Park is receiving some amazing renovations. Situated in the heart of Pulaski, the park features a beautiful covered bridge perfect for photos, a playground, and shade trees perfect for a family picnic or relaxing with a great read. Just a few steps from Smurawa’s Country Bakery, grab a treat before you take a seat in Shippy Park. The park is also home to Pulaski’s annual Tree Stroll every December to celebrate the holidays.
NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
As the village continues to grow, so does the number of locally-owned businesses! Grab a coffee, ice cream, or get the kids some freeze-dried candy when you stop by “Casimir’s, The Sweet Spot”. “Romanska” is an international good store sure to peek your curiosity.
Coming the summer of 2026, be sure to check out the Reading Village in Pulaski’s Glenbrook Park, a unique little collection of “houses” created to encourage reading. And look for a public art installation by local mosaic artist Kim Wozniak to be installed in Shippy Park during the fall of 2026. While a new community mural close to the Polka Grounds was completed in 2025, grab a paintbrush and help share the story of the Village of Pulaski Police Department during the 2nd Annual Sharing of our Stories.
STAY IN PULASKI
Cobblestone Hotel & Suites is a newer hotel located in Pulaski, and it’s already a favorite among visitors coming to the area for play, work, or to catch a game. They offer tons of convenient amenities like free breakfast, a 24-hour business center, an indoor heated pool and exercise facility.

These six rentable units often house wedding parties and guests for special event at the exquisite event venue, but from time to time are available during the off-season.
A GUINNESS BOOK WORLD RECORD HOLDER
Before you leave Pulaski, make sure to pay a visit to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church. This gorgeous building towers over the village with its twin 135-foot-tall Spanish-style towers. If you can get inside the church, you will be absolutely blown away by the beautiful 50-foot ceilings showcasing more than 40 Italian-made stained glass windows. When the church’s construction was completed in 1931 (for a total cost of $225,000), it was named the largest rural Catholic church in America by the Guinness Book of World Records. This church is still a cornerstone of the village and definitely worth seeing while you’re here!
