The story behind it
The holiday marks the anniversary of the first modern Polish constitution (1791), celebrated as Poland’s national day. In Chorzów, the ceremonies also honor the region’s Silesian Uprising heritage. After decades when such celebrations were banned during foreign rule and communism, they were restored in the Third Republic. Today’s 3 May festivities reflect Polish patriotism and Chorzów’s industrial-region identity.
