The International Festival of Street Feature is one of the star shows this draws comical and acrobatic characters from across the world. Expect a dazzling show in which the lines between actor and performer are blurred. Another hit that lures big international names is Gdansk's Musical Summer, which runs top notch classical concerts across the city. One of the oldest and also the most prestigious annual events in Gdansk is St. Dominic's Fair, Besides the treasures of the fair itself, which are particularly strong on art and amber, the festival embraces a range of events from concerts to firework displays.
The leaves have fallen, the skies are grey... and yet the All Souls Holiday is amongst the most enchanting traditions of the year. Similarly, jazz fans may well be inspired by November's Zaduszki Festival - the oldest of its kind in Europe. The other thing about that time of year is that you won't be swamped by crowds - so it's not as simple as all that after all. But enough umming and ahhing here is a line-up of what's on offer throughout the year. With a bit of luck you'll spot something that'll make you dance round the room shouting Eureka, and maybe next time you can sample a different season Cracow is dangerously addictive.
