Kashubian Unity Day

March 19th is a celebration day in the Kashubian Culture. A day to honor and promote a deeper understanding of their unique culture.
The first written documentation recognizing the Kashubians as an ethnic identity is located in a "Bull" issued by Pope Gregory IX, and he refers to the Duke of Kashubia, and its population.

The Kashubians are a Western Slavic ethnic group primarily in northern Poland along the Baltic Sea (Pomerania). The Kashubian cultures are a blend of Polish, German and Scandinavian influences, and is observed in its language, traditions and cultural heritage over the centuries. The Kashubian cultures comes through in its distinct and unique handicrafts (pottery, textiles, woodworking, etc) and shows the inspiration from the natural surroundings, and influences of surrounding populations.

Since 2005, grand festival have been held at various locations within the Kashubian area, and include Folk fairs and exhibitions, various craft work, and even an international tournament of Baśka, (a Kashubian card game). These various festivals seek to promote Kashubian culture, and demonstrating community identity and pride. This day also serves to highlight the resilience of the culture, the survival of the unique heritage, and the ongoing preservation of the Kashubian identity.

Additional information and exhibits can be found at the Kashubian Polish Cultural Institute & Polish Museum in Winona, MN. https://polishmuseumwinona.org/
