Saint Martin Street's Nameday celebration

The programme of the feast will include a procession, concerts, activities, and performances. For safety reasons, as last year, the event will be classified as a mass event. We sincerely hope that the measures introduced will enable everyone to enjoy to the full this truly unique day.

In keeping with tradition, the Mayor of Poznań will offer Saint Martin the keys to the city on stage. For the first time, however, this moment will be the start, rather than the finish, of the procession, which at 2pm will set off towards the city centre. Starting at Adam Mickiewicz Square, it will cross Święty Marcin Street and then proceed south along Aleja Niepodległości.

There will also be the traditional St Martin’s Fair, a handicrafts area, and the chance to taste the sweet pastry made with white poppy seeds and dried fruit; known as the St Martin’s croissant, it is a symbol of community and sharing goodness. 
The Fair will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 

The main music stage will be located in Mickiewicz Square, featuring performers representing all generations of musicians. The full program of the celebrations and practical information are available on the ZAMEK Cultural Center website: www.ckzamek.pl and on social media.

The branches of National Muzeum will be open like on Sunday. Archaeological Museum and Arcdiocesan Museum will be closed.
