3rd of May Constitution Day Celebration

Each year, on the 3rd of May, Poles around the world come together to celebrate a momentous occasion in their national history—Constitution Day. Known in Polish as Święto Konstytucji 3 Maja, this public holiday commemorates the adoption of Poland’s groundbreaking constitution on 3rd May 1791, the first democratic constitution in Europe and only the second in the world after the United States.

Join the Polish Association in Christchurch for an official celebration of Poland’s 3rd of May Constitution Day — a national holiday commemorating the adoption of Europe’s first democratic constitution in 1791.

This special evening will include a short presentation about the day's historical significance, followed by a performance by the Polish folk dance group Polonus and time to mingle and enjoy light refreshments.
