Pułtusk Parade

XXI Dni Patrona św. Mateusza

From September 19th to 22th, the inhabitants of Pultusk celebrate their Patron Day: Saint Mathew. There are four days full of activities, competitions, cultural activities, food trucks, and a few concerts.

As every year, FIYE POLSKA participated in the event, this time in the parade on September 21rst. 

So, all of us, the volunteers, got together: the girls, Amélie, and Jennifer from Helenów; Anna and Marine from Pomiechówek; César, Tudal and me, Dawid, Kuba and Gabriela, Kuba, some of the local volunteers here in Pultusk.

This year, the theme of the Parade was „Nad błękitną moją Narwią” ("Over my blue Narew")

The schools, cultural institutions, youth associations, clubs, and organizations gather this day to walk around the longest market square in Poland.

The mascot of Pułtusk is the beaver

The volunteers and our boss Pani Annia, and coordinators Sylwia and Grzegorz walked together, each one of us was carrying a flag from countries all around the world to show the multiculturality of our volunteers and organization. 

Even it was very cold, we all enjoyed it and for me, it was very interesting. This parade was different from the ones organized in my country.
