You probably know this festival well. Until 2021, it was known as the Jagiellonian Fair. Its spirit has remained the same. It\u2019s a joyful celebration of traditional music and crafts, set against the backdrop of Lublin\u2019s Old Town. The programme includes a vibrant folk art fair, concerts of traditional and tradition-inspired music, hands-on workshops, a playground of old-time games and activities, as well as dances, performances, exhibitions, and presentations. We usually share the full festival schedule in early August.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
For many years, the festival has taken place in the second half of August. In 2026, it will be held from 21 to 23 August, and we warmly invite you to join us.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
You will find us in the streets, squares and alleys of Lublin\u2019s Old Town and B\u0142onia near the Castle. More information TBA as the festival’s date approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Most events are free to attend, and we\u2019ll keep you updated on any workshops that may require a fee.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
