The Kashubs, a Slavic group that lives southwest of Gdańsk, are one of the province’s distinct ethnic groups. They retain a number of their culture’s customs, and older members still speak a dialect probably derived from the ancient Pomeranian language.
Kashubian Unity Day (Dzéń Jednotë Kaszëbów) is an annual festival celebrated every March 19 to commemorate the first historical written mention of Kashubians, in Pope Gregory IX's Bull of 19 March 1238.
