Independence Day Description
Independence Day marks Poland's 1918 return to statehood with military rolls in Warsaw, scout honour guards in regional capitals, and patriotic concerts that spill from squares into metro stations. Some marches are festive; others are politically charged—check municipal advisories. Banks and schools halt; museums may host free exhibitions. Expect heightened security in capital centres, bag checks at events, and fuller intercity trains as families combine remembrance with long weekends.
