One of Kraków's most unique and enjoyable annual events, the Great Dragon Weekend is organised by Groteska Theatre and inspired the city's most famous legend. Two days of colourful pageantry, large-scale puppetry and family fun, the weekend consists of two main events: Saturday night's light and sound spectacular in which giant dragons float down the Wisła, followed by Sunday afternoon's parade of colourful beasts created by children. All the while the Dragon Family Picnic takes place on the Wisła River boulevards below Wawel Castle throughout the weekend. Worth planning a trip around, don't miss these events if you're in town.
