Majówka in Poland

Majówka is a Polish holiday. It can be translated as May-day picnic. We celebrate it on 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd of May. On these three days whole families with friends go to parks and spend time together. They are talking, eating ice-creams – just having fun.

1^st of May – Święto Pracy (Labour Day) is a free of work day. It has been a public holiday in Poland since 1950.

 

2^nd of May – Dzień Flagi Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (Polish Flag Day) isn’t a free of work day, but most companies let workers not to go to work. We celebrate this holiday since 2004.

 

 

 

3^rd of May – Święto Konstytucji Trzeciego Maja (May 3^rd Constitution Day) is a public holiday. This day is free of work. On 3^rd May 1791 the first constitution in Europe and the second on the world (the first was in America) was passed. This holiday was established in 1919 and again in 1990.
