New York City to mark Poland's Independence Day
New York City will celebrate Poland's Independence Day on November 11 by illuminating the Empire State Building in the colours of the country's flag, the Polish Consulate in New York has reported.
The iconic Empire State Building in Manhattan, New York, will be illuminated in white and red on Monday at 10pm Polish time to commemorate Poland's Independence Day.
The symbolic lighting will be performed by Robert Lewandowski, the captain of the Polish national football team and star striker for FC Barcelona.
This event is intended to be a gesture of recognition for Polish history and culture, as well as for the millions of Poles residing in America.
