From 7 to 10 August 2025, Krakow — a city where history, creativity, and tradition meet at every corner — will become a vibrant center of international performing arts. The 13th edition of the Summer Arts Festival in Krakow will gather folklore ensembles, choirs, orchestras, and dance groups from around the world for an inspiring event in the heart of Poland. Famous for its royal heritage, the majestic Wawel Castle, and the bustling Main Market Square, Krakow provides the perfect atmosphere for four days filled with open-air music and dance performances. Participants will have the opportunity to present their cultural identity among grand cathedrals, medieval streets, and picturesque urban landscapes. The festival welcomes all types of formations — from folklore and modern dance groups to majorette teams, choirs, orchestras, and music bands. There are no age limits and no restrictions on group size. Krakow’s stages open their doors to everyone who brings the spirit of creativity, tradition, and international friendship. The program includes city sightseeing, parades, evening festival concerts at the Main Square, the option for a boat cruise on the Vistula River, as well as free time to explore iconic landmarks such as Wawel Hill, the Cathedral, the Kazimierz District, and the historic markets of the Old Town. The highlight of the event will be the Gala Concert, uniting all groups in a festive closing night featuring certificates and gifts. Organizers encourage participants to prepare a short 10–12-minute program, bring their national flags, and take part in the traditional exchange of symbolic gifts, strengthening international friendships. The XIII Summer Arts Festival in Krakow is more than an event — it is a meeting point of global traditions and contemporary artistic expression, set against the backdrop of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. All interested groups must submit an official application form. Registration is now open. Don’t miss the chance to represent your culture on the prestigious stage of Krakow!
