Sacrum Profanum Festival
Place: Krakow Philharmonic Date: 13.09Sacrum Profanum Festival in Krakow Life loves symmetry, and so does Krakow. A great classical music festival in the springtime – the Misteria Paschalia – needs an autumn counterpart, and its name is the Sacrum Profanum Festival. But you shouldn’t expect the symmetry to go too far: although the spring festival is a typical classical music festival – although with a magnificent line-up – the Sacrum Profanum is more experimenta...

Unsound Festival
Category: Krakow Festivals
Date: October 2009Krakow Unsound Music Festival Going to a concert with one's own sleeping bag is no strange thing for the regular festival-goers, but being encouraged to sleep not between, but during the gigs – that's another thing. And what about listening to live music performances in clubs as well as art galleries, churches and factories?

Etiuda and Anima Festival
Place: Kijow Centrum Date: 27.11Etiuda & Anima Festival The Etiuda & Anima festival in Krakow is not a typical film festival : there's no red, Cannes-style carpet, no blockbusters, no high budgets (or no budgets at all), no scandalous actors. What is left is fresh, ambitious and excellent cinema. The Etiuda & Anima brings together students and young film artists from film schools from virtually all around the world.

Lajkonik
Date: Spring Annually
Lajkonik If one doesn't wander around Nowa Huta at night, or meet a particularly dissatisfied group of Cracovia or Wisla fans, it is not likely that one will get hit with a bat or a club in Krakow. A mace – that's a different story. If you're hit – don't be mad, be grateful, as it will mean you've been blessed by the Lajkonik, one of the most distinguishable figures of the Krakow folklore – and one of the most loved ones. To commemorate Po... more » -
