WARSAW, POLAND – Dożynki is a harvest festival that takes place in the countryside towns of Poland on August 28 following the end of the harvest season.
Before the festival, many decorations are made from hay, crops, and farming equipment that are then placed by nearby roads and houses. The locals glorify Christ during the holiday through the making of huge crowns made completely out of crops and flowers which are then brought to the church where the people gather to sing Polish hymns and worship songs.
The festival lasts for three days and offers authentic Polish food, music, and a taste of the unique culture. Many parades go through the streets including big tractors hauling different sceneries and decorative props. The fun and exciting festival leaves many Poles coming back each year to gather and glorify God.
