Kraków’s Small Market Square will welcome a Christmas fair from November 30, 2026, through January 3, 2027. The event is being prepared by the IMAGO Folk Art Center, inPoland.net.pl reported on Thursday, November 12.

Unlike the larger commercial market on the Main Square, the fair will emphasize regional craftsmanship and direct contact with artists. Stalls are expected to offer jewelry, ceramics, wooden goods, handmade decorations and Kraków nativity scenes, alongside workshops, carol singing and folk performances.

Security will be tightened following the tragic events in Kraków on November 7. Organizers have been given recommendations by local authorities and security services, while exhibitors will receive instructions covering access rules and the installation of stands.

Twenty-five temporary concrete barriers were placed at entrances to the Main and Small market squares overnight on November 10-11 to restrict unauthorized vehicle access. The fair is scheduled to operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. from Friday through Sunday.
