Regional harvest festivals, known as Dożynki, continue to be held across various parts of Poland to celebrate the end of the agricultural season and honor local farmers. These celebrations typically feature a mix of religious services, such as thanksgiving masses and processions, alongside cultural festivities including folk music, traditional wreath presentations, and local culinary showcases.

In the Wielkopolska region, the Wielkopolskie Ludowe Święto Plonów (Greater Poland Folk Harvest Festival) was held in Wtórek, within the Ostrowo Wielkopolskie district. Attended by more than 20,000 people, the event served as a celebration of the year’s harvests and an expression of gratitude for the labor of local farmers. The festivities also marked the 30th anniversary of the District Council of the Wielkopolska Chamber of Agriculture in Ostrowo Wielkopolskie and included a harvest exhibition and a thanksgiving mass.

As celebrations continue through late August and September 2026, several municipal events are scheduled. In Gorzupa, festivities included a colorful parade of decorated tractors and agricultural machinery, a thanksgiving Mass, and a unique beret-throwing tournament. In the Rudna municipality, festivities in Chobienia feature traditional processions and performances by musical acts such as Capitan Folk and Adam Konkol. In the Cieszanów municipality, a festival will take place on August 29 in Folwarki, including a field Mass and competitions for Rural Women's Circles.

Recent celebrations in municipalities such as Gniezno and Mietków have incorporated educational elements, including safety workshops led by firefighters and health lectures. While many festivities proceed as planned, organizers have noted challenges posed by unpredictable weather, such as droughts and frosts, during the recent growing season.
