Garland weaving workshops, a fair organized by local artists as well as learning about various legends, designed with the youngest spectators in mind, are just some of the attractions which await all who visit the St. John’s Fair starting Friday. Come to Bulwary Wiślane!

Garland made from flowers, fruits, vegetables or even feathers, butterflies and snow-flakes. Impossible? Not anymore – on our website you can create your own original garland and send it to someone as a gift. Join the game!

As usual during Wianki we invite you to take part in a contest for the most beautiful garland of 2009. We invite everyone who would like to participate in St. John’s celebrations to come on 20th June 2009 to the Vistula River Bank (Bulwary Wiślane) in the area of St. John’s fair, next to Jock the Dog’s monument (pomnik psa Dżoka). Bring your garland between 12:00 pm and 2 pm. The contest application form can be downloaded here or filled in the place of the contest. The Contest Committee consider the following criteria when selecting laureates: the project’s aesthetics, the originality of the concept with reference to the tradition of the St. John’s celebrations and the artistic means used. The results of the contest will be announced on 20th June at 3:00 pm. The prizes are the following: branded watches, dinner for two in one of Krakow’s restaurants and a set of gadgets and T-shirts.

The Poise Rite, Vavamuffin, Wilki and Patrycja Markowska will perform in Krakow on June 20th during Wianki featuring Lenny Kravitz as the main act. Come join us!

Two months before the concert in Krakow, Piotr Metz – head editor of Machina magazine – met Lenny Kravitz in Paris. The interview was broadcast on the programme Good Morning TVN. The artist answered the questions: whether rock and roll is dead; how come he plays rock; and even, who is the most important woman in his life.
