  • Friday, August 2, 2024 - Sunday, August 18, 2024
  • Main Market Square

The International Folk Art Fair is the most significant trade event promoting authentic folk art in Kraków. For almost a month at the Main Market Square it presents the beauty and variety of Polish and foreign folk art, crafts and handicrafts. Visitors will have a chance to meet traditional craftsmen as well as the new generation of creators of handicrafts. Not only will you be able to buy unique products, but you will also have the opportunity to see the artists at work or even to try your hand at a traditional craft! Numerous folklore performances and shows and much, much more are also waiting for you!

This year’s fair showcases some of the finest exhibitors whose creations serve as a reminder that folk arts and crafts are thriving, and folklore in general can be – and is! – hugely attractive to contemporary audiences. The exhibitors will present traditional souvenirs, toys, ceramics, unique jewellery, original clothing, as well as very traditional products such as lace, pottery products, embroidery or Łowicz paper cut-outs.

The Fair is not only an opportunity to see authentic handicraft products, but also to experience the variety of folk songs and dances. Well-known Polish folk bands will appear on our stage, as well as artists from Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Turkey, Israel, Croatia, Lithuania and Latvia and numerous others. The event will also include a two-day forum dedicated to the condition of handicraft and handicraft heritage. We would also like to invite you to a dance flash mob and handicraft workshops.
 
 The Fair also offers an opportunity for those who want to taste the delicacies of Polish cuisine. Lovers of regional dishes will find preserves, traditional spirits and local sweets, as well as delicious grilled dishes.
