At the heart of Kiermash is the aim to bring all of your favourite things under one (usually curiously atypical) roof. This quarterly event focuses on gathering all the best in local independent creativity, fashion and utility design, all bundled together and packaged neatly in unique spaces across the city that aren't normally utilised as or associated with traditional shopping venues. IFor the 2025 winter holiday edition they are throwing in some gastronomic delights from all over the world courtesy of Art & Food Bazaar, vintage fashion from the Kogel Mogel fair organisers, and yet more designer retro goods (furniture, glass and ceramics) from the Obiekty fair organisers, to turn this shopping extravaganza into a full feast for the senses.
 

The annual December edition of this massive independent fashion and design fair takes place in Hala Cracovia, and offers a fantastic alternative to the Market Square Christmas Fair. Featuring only Polish brands and dedicated to concepts of 'shop local' and 'less waste,' Kiermash hosts over 200 stands with unique, hand-picked and hand-crafted gifts. Get yourself a new winter wardrobe, hats, hipster socks, accessories, jewellery, eco-cosmetics, toys, home decor, Christmas decorations and many more unique present options. Local DJs provide the vibes, and there will be lots of delicious local food, drinks and desserts as usual, plus the authentic scent of the holidays thanks to fresh Christmas trees for sale on-site. With its emphasis on local brands, artists and merchants, this two-day event is Kraków's best Christmas fair, and the perfect opportunity to buy kooky hipster gifts for all your hipster friends direct from hipster artists all while looking like a hipster yourself. Huzzah!
