About Pierogi Fest
The original idea for Pierogi Fest formed in the early 1990s when founder Marty Dybel and co-founders Tom Dabertin and Darlene Beerling had an idea to celebrate cultural heritage with a new festival in Whiting. The city has a long and proud history that blends many cultural backgrounds from around the world into a community that is totally unique, yet somehow remarkably familiar to visitors. That’s part of the magic of Pierogi Fest.
Pierogis were chosen as a focal point to honor Eastern European heritage, but the festival has never been exclusive to a single culture. All foods from all nationalities are welcome, and over the years many different types of delicious dishes have been featured during the event.
