caption_attribution_description: Polski: Siwki w Chobienicach odbywają się co roku w pierwszy dzień świąt Wielkanocnych. Grupy przebierańców zatrzymują samochody pobierając opłaty, grają i śpiewają na ulicach malując sadzą twarze mieszkańców, smagają rzemieniami łydki przechodniów. Zbierają dary i rozmawiają z chętnymi do udziału mieszkańcami. Pochód trwa od godzin południowych do późnego popołudnia.
context_page_description: Siwki or Siwek is a regional tradition rooted in Polish folklore, in which a procession of dressed up individuals stops passers-by and performs tricks on them. The event usually takes place on Easter Sunday or Easter Monday.
  The map of Polish Easter processions devised by Andrzej Brencz demonstrates
  that similar processions take place in areas where villages are close to each other. The area where the Easter Greys tradition is observed stretches between Międzychód, Wolsztyn and Poznań in Poland's region of Greater Poland. The Greys are an example of immaterial cultural heritage of the region.
