Soon enough, we are going to meet for the joint celebrations of St. Martin Street Name Day! This year, things will be exceptionally festive since the name day coincides with the centennial of Polish independence.

On November 11th, St. Martin’s Parade will set out from the grounds of Poznań International Fair, proceed along Bukowska Street and then across Kaponiera to the stage in Mickiewicz Square. Participating in the procession there will be animators, street artists, musicians, reenactors, representatives of NGOs, school pupils and members of informal groups. Some of the city’s quarters  will have their “troops” marching there as well: Stare Miasto, Łazarz and Jeżyce.

Workshops for families will be held throughout the day in the marquee set up in the car park in front of the, while the traditional St. Martin’s Croissant Fair will be taking place in Aleja Niepodległości, along with a slew of stalls with handcrafted merchandise.

In the evening, join us for a live concert of Lao Che, after which the sky above our city will be lit up by a laser show.
