Sandwiched between the two public holidays, May Day and Constitution Day, is May 2.

Although not formally a national holiday, May 2 is typically a bank holiday for some or taken as a day off by many Poles to have an undisturbed leisure time.

Officially, May 2 marks Polish National Flag Day as well as the Day of Polonia and Poles living Abroad.
