The culture of Grębów is closely tied to the folklore of the Podkarpacie region, which is evident in local customs, traditions, and cultural events. The municipality has rich traditions, and its residents actively preserve these customs, attracting tourists interested in Polish folklore. The natural environment, dominated by forests and farmland, also provides excellent opportunities for recreation and eco-tourism. An interesting aspect is the diverse age pyramid of the population, which may indicate varying demographic dynamics within the municipality. Neighboring municipalities, such as Bojanów, Stalowa Wola, and Tarnobrzeg, form a regional context in which Grębów plays a significant role as a place with agricultural traditions and a close-knit local community.
