Traditional autumn sheep herding festivals, known as redyk, are being held across various Polish highland regions. In Szczawnica, the XI Autumn Redyk is scheduled for October 8 to 10, 2026, featuring a three-day program of sheep processions, regional music, and workshops. This year's event coincides with the United Nations designation of 2026 as the “International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.” In the Beskid Śląski region, celebrations ~~are also taking place~~ in Istebna and Koniakow on October ~~9. These festivities~~ 9 include processions led by ~~shepherds,~~ shepherd Jan Bzdyk, moving sheep from Złoty Gronień to Tyniok. These festivities feature religious blessings, traditional music from groups such as Wałasi, and demonstrations of traditional cheese production, ~~continuing~~ including bundz cheese. In the ~~centuries-old pastoral heritage~~ Beskid Sądecki region, a large-scale movement occurred as a flock of approximately 1,400 sheep, led by shepherd Józef Klimowski, passed through the ~~area.~~ spa town of Piwniczna-Zdrój. These events across the Beskid mountain ranges mark the end of the grazing season and serve as a symbolic conclusion to the months-long pastoral period in the Carpathian region.
