Pierogi Festival
Place: Plac Szczepanski Date: August AnnuallyPierogi Festival in Krakow A street survey among Krakow tourists asking about “the most popular Polish meal” or “your favorite Polish dish” would result in myriads of answers.

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 » -
