Beetle Invasion

Kraków is invaded by creatures with a folk provenance. Like the legendary Wawel dragon, they will settle by the water – not the Vistula River, though, but the Kryspinów Reservoir, near the Kraków airport, with great views over metallic bird aeroplanes. The creatures are also metallic – and legendary: the cult Volkswagen beetles are literally folk vehicles.

The 16th Garbojama Beetle Rally brings demonstrations and competitions during which proud owners of the little cars show off their knowledge of their automobiles, their skills, imagination… and blind love, when they repair their bugs while blindfolded. The stage welcomes Makar & Children of the Corn, the Kraków Street Band and Cheap Tobacco. On Saturday 9 July, the bugs swarm Kraków’s streets to arrive at the Aviation Museum around noon. It will be another legendary rally!
