From July 25 to August 16, Gda\u0144sk will host the 766th St. Dominic's Fair \u2014 one of the largest urban events in Europe. For three weeks, the historic center of the city will transform into a huge venue with market stalls, concerts, gastronomy, and entertainment, attracting millions of visitors from Poland and other countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tradition of the fair dates back to 1260, when Pope Alexander IV allowed the Gda\u0144sk Dominicans to hold trade gatherings at the church of \u015aw. Miko\u0142aja<\/strong>. According to the organizers, in record years, the fair was attended by nearly 7 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the fair will feature more than 715 stalls. Over 250 vendors from the Pomeranian Voivodeship and around 150 participants from Gda\u0144sk will showcase their goods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening of the fair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The grand opening will take place on Saturday, July 25<\/strong>. Starting from 10:00<\/strong>, the trade and gastronomic pavilions will open, including participants of the traditional \u015awi\u0119to Chleba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 12:00<\/strong> on D\u0142ugi Targ<\/strong>, there will be a ceremony for the handing over of the key to the city gates. Before it, a specially composed hejna\u0142 of the fair will be played, consisting of 768 notes \u2014 corresponding to the number of years of its history. Then, a colorful parade featuring acrobats, dancers, and symbolic characters, including Z\u0142oty Hermes and Karmazynowy Kogut, will proceed through the streets of the Old Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festival of Bread<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On July 26<\/strong>, the traditional \u015awi\u0119to Chleba<\/strong> will take place at Skwer Heweliusza<\/strong>. Guests can look forward to a homemade bread competition, a contest of Gda\u0144sk bakeries and confectioneries, as well as tastings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications for the home baking competition will be accepted from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM<\/strong>, and the winners will be announced at 3:00 PM<\/strong>. In the morning, there will also be a festive mass at the basilica Wniebowzi\u0119cia NMP<\/strong> and a procession of bakers with an orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else awaits guests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As in previous years, the fair will be divided into several thematic zones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the basilica \u015aw. Miko\u0142aja<\/strong>, there will be Przystanek u Dominikan\u00f3w<\/strong>, where concerts of spiritual music and the festival Let’s Baroque<\/strong> will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A relaxation area Port Gda\u0144sk Pod \u017baglami<\/strong> will open on Wyspie O\u0142owianka<\/strong> with a summer cinema and jazz concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For families with children, Przystanek Przygoda<\/strong> will be open at Podwalu Staromiejskim<\/strong>. Here, guests can enjoy the Ferris wheel AmberSky<\/strong> and a carousel made to special order in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Przystanek Retro<\/strong> will appear at Targu W\u0119glowym<\/strong> with the atmosphere of the 1970s and 1980s, while a gastronomic zone Przystanek Smak\u00f3w<\/strong> will open at Skwerze \u015awi\u0119tope\u0142ka<\/strong>, where you can try dishes from various cuisines of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run and changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the main events will be the Bieg \u015bw. Dominika, which will take place for the 32nd time. The collectors’ stands will be moved from D\u0142ugie Ogrody street to Targ W\u0119glowy, and the use and parking of electric scooters will be prohibited throughout the fairgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
