Grandfather's Day in Poland

Grandfather's Day in Poland puts grandfathers at the centre of family attention. It is a chance for grandchildren to thank them for their care, stories and company, with personal gestures often doing the talking.

How it is celebrated: children make cards and presents, recite poems and sing songs. Nurseries and schools arrange performances for grandparents, while families visit or gather over something to eat.

Polish grandparents have neighbouring celebrations rather than one shared date: Grandmother's Day falls on 21 January, followed by Grandfather's Day the very next day.
