Day of Dreams in Rzeszów: Health Checks and Family Fun

Day of Dreams Rzeszów offers free blood tests, children’s activities and a meeting with boxer Łukasz Różański. Learn why it matters for expats.

Day of Dreams Rzeszów will transform a Rzeszów park into a family health and charity hub on August 22. Moreover, the event blends free medical screening, children’s entertainment, and a chance to meet former WBC bridger champion Łukasz Różański.

What to expect on the Day of Dreams Rzeszów

The picnic runs from 12:00 to 16:00 at Park Jedności Polonii z Macierzą, Jałowego 9. In addition, organisers offer free blood tests at a mobile ALAB Laboratories stand. However, attendees must come fasting to take part in the blood draws. Consequently, local hospital staff and representatives from NFZ will also attend. NFZ stands for the National Health Fund (public health insurer in Poland). Therefore, visitors can ask questions about public health access and preventive care.

Health services and community partners

ALAB will operate the mobile collection point. In addition, staff from PRO-FAMILIA hospital will consult visitors. Moreover, representatives from the Podkarpackie branch of NFZ and several rehabilitation charities will provide information. Consequently, the event links prevention with community support. This approach helps reach families who might not visit clinics otherwise.

Activities, entertainment and special guests

Children will find inflatables, face painting, braid-plaiting and a photobooth. Moreover, FRUMIS runs agility games and Dr Clown offers a mobile hospital experience. In addition, the Youth Brass Band from Trzebownisko will perform. Therefore, the event mixes fun with awareness. Furthermore, Łukasz Różański will speak about his boxing career and his path to a world title. After his talk, attendees can take photos and get autographs.

Fundraising and local involvement

The foundation will collect donations for its work granting wishes to sick children. Moreover, all funds raised will go to the children’s projects. A local barber, Rzeźnia Barbershop, will cut hair for voluntary donations. In addition, the regional Bar Association will attend to show civic support. Consequently, the picnic demonstrates how local groups combine forces for social causes.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: If you are an expat planning to use free health services, bring ID and proof of insurance when possible. EU citizens can use an EHIC or S1 form for public care. Otherwise, private or charitable stands may help without NFZ coverage. PESEL is the Polish personal ID number; many services do not require it for one-off checks. Also, carry some cash for small donations or barber tips, because contactless options may not work at every stand.

Why this matters to expats? Local family events reveal how Polish communities support vulnerable children. Moreover, they offer practical health information from public institutions. Therefore, attending helps you learn how the Polish health system works in practice. In addition, you can meet local NGOs and volunteers who provide vital services beyond the state. Consequently, the event offers both a pleasant family day and an informative window into civic life in Rzeszów.

Organisers ask visitors to respect safety and follow fasting instructions for blood tests. Moreover, they remind people that the picnic is free to enter. Therefore, you can drop by with children and meet local health providers and charities.
