Festival of Slavs and Vikings, Wolin

Wolin, Poland

The Festival of Slavs and Vikings on Ostrów island at Wolin is one of Europe's largest early-medieval gatherings, with around 2,000 re-enactors from some 30 countries camping in a reconstructed 9th–11th-century port settlement. Four days of crafts, battles with hundreds of warriors, boat regattas, rituals and music recall the town that medieval chroniclers knew as Jomsborg or Vineta.

Lajkonik Procession

Kraków, Poland

Once a year a bearded rider in Tatar dress on a white hobby-horse — the Lajkonik, or Konik Zwierzyniecki — parades across Kraków with a band and a costumed retinue, from Zwierzyniec to the Main Market Square, tapping bystanders with his mace for luck. The pageant is held on the octave of Corpus Christi, the Thursday eight days after Corpus Christi, and is organised by the Museum of Kraków; the 2026 edition was on 11 June and 3 June 2027 is expected.
