Polish community

Expatriate Slavic enclave

A Polish community is a population of people of Polish descent or heritage living in a particular place, especially outside Poland.

The term often refers to immigrant neighborhoods or diaspora populations that maintain cultural traditions: Chicago has the largest Polish community outside Warsaw.

It can also describe organized groups united by shared heritage: The Polish community gathered for the annual pierogi festival.
