Poland's Holidays

Many of Poland's holidays offer travelers special opportunities to observe or participate in Polish annual traditions. Whether you're waiting in the cold for New Year's fireworks in Krakow's Market Square or you're watching a Corpus Christi procession, your experience with seasonal celebrations in Poland will offer you plenty of photo opportunities, unique memories, and a greater understanding of Polish culture and history. For example, today, November 11, is Poland's Independence Day, which celebrates the attainment of statehood by Poland in 1918.
