Archive

Date of the event: 15 – 16 VII 2026


The 12th International Małopolska Encounters with Folklore is a unique event that has brought together traditions, music and dance from different parts of the world for many years. Galeria Krakowska will once again become a meeting place for cultures.

On July 15, you will meet artists in traditional folk costumes throughout the shopping centre and take part in dance workshops and demonstrations. On July 16, a colourful festival parade will set off from Galeria Krakowska and make its way through the city streets. Afterwards, folklore ensembles from Paraguay, Serbia, Panama, Hungary, Chile and Taiwan will perform on Jan Nowak-Jeziorański Square.

It is a wonderful opportunity to experience the diversity of traditions, costumes and musical rhythms.
