Poland Public Holidays Calculator

Poland's public holidays for any year, calculated live from the actual rules.

Year

One of Europe's more Easter-dependent calendars

Poland ties three separate holidays to the Easter calculation — Easter Monday, Corpus Christi, and (indirectly, since it's exactly 7 weeks after Easter) Pentecost's related observances — more than most European countries on this site, which makes the Easter Date Calculator especially relevant for planning around the Polish calendar specifically.

No substitute-day rule

Like France and Spain, Poland has no standard nationwide rule shifting a holiday that falls on a weekend to a weekday — if a fixed holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday, it's simply absorbed into the weekend with no compensating day added, making some years noticeably more generous with actual days off than others purely by chance of the calendar.
