About Poland Public Holidays
Poland observes 13 official public holidays in 2027, established under the Act on Public Holidays of 18 January 1951 and its amendments. These holidays are a blend of Catholic religious feasts and secular national commemorations. On each public holiday, most employees are entitled to a paid day off, and commercial establishments, government offices, and schools are closed. When a public holiday falls on a Sunday, Polish law does not automatically provide a substitute weekday off — however, Sunday itself retains its status as a rest day, so workers effectively keep their holiday entitlement.
The Catholic character of Poland's holiday calendar is reflected in feasts such as Epiphany (January 6), Easter Monday, Corpus Christi, the Assumption of Mary (August 15), and both days of Christmas. National civil holidays include Labour Day (May 1), Constitution Day (May 3) — which marks the adoption of the landmark Constitution of May 3, 1791 — and Independence Day (November 11), which commemorates Poland regaining sovereignty in 1918 after 123 years of partition. The combination of Constitution Day and Labour Day creates a popular "long weekend" in early May known colloquially as the majówka, a cherished time for travel and outdoor activities across the country.
