Easter traditions in Poland - weekend trip to Kurpie

Weeks leading up to Easter is a colorful time in Poland. Our rich traditions involve decorating Easter eggs called “pisanki”, making Eater palms that we call “palmy” or “palemki wielkanocne”. People make their own Easter cards that then are sent to friends and family. It’s something worth experiencing at least once in your lifetime. That being said…

We are thrilled to announce our very first curated weekend trip to Poland this upcoming March! 

Dates: March 27-29, 2026

We will learn Easter folk crafts from local artists, visit a village in Kurpie where you will see a traditional Palm Sunday procession with traditional Easter Palms made each year specifically for this occasion. We will visit an open air museum, admire the incredible wooden architecture, embroidery and paper crafts. 

We will meet in Warsaw on Friday evening where we will kick off our weekend with a delicious Polish dinner. Our base will be Warsaw and we will travel from the city in the morning, coming back in the evening.
