Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Poland have in 2026?

What is the first public holiday of 2026 in Poland?

When is New Year celebrated in Poland in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Poland is on January 1, 2026.
Are regional holidays included for Poland?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Poland are listed separately on the Poland holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Poland holiday dates change from 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. 4 of the 14 holidays in 2026 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Easter Sunday on April 5, 2026, Easter Monday on April 6, 2026 and Pentecost on May 24, 2026, plus 1 more.
How far ahead is the Poland calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Poland.
Which Poland holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2026. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Poland holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
