What cultural events are there?
Kurpie folk groups perform at the Kurpie Honey Harvest Festival, alongside the annual traditional customs show “Zwyczaje bartnicze na Kurpiach.” This brings folk performances and a show focused on a specific theme together. If you are particularly interested in folklore, the group performances are one highlight; if you are interested in the customs named in the title, the show is the one to look out for. These two events give the festival distinct cultural points of interest, rather than offering only a general folklore theme. The specific programme may vary. If one of these events is the deciding factor for you, check the details for the relevant edition before travelling.
What does the festival’s honey programme offer?
The honey programme has a different focus from the cultural performances: visitors can taste honey before buying it and talk to beekeepers about its characteristics. The tasting also offers an opportunity to learn more about the honey. If you are interested in its flavour and characteristics, both aspects are relevant: you can sample it and talk to the beekeepers. This opportunity is part of the Kurpie Honey Harvest Festival and is not available year-round in Wydmusy. For a specific edition, it is worth checking the current programme published by the organisers, especially if you plan to travel specifically for this event.
When should you plan your visit and look for accommodation?
The Kurpie Honey Harvest Festival takes place every year on the last Sunday in August and falls on the last weekend of August. It has been held in Wydmusy since 2014. The recurring August date is a useful starting point for planning your trip; still, check the date and the organisers’ information for the relevant edition before travelling. If you are looking for a hotel, match your preferred overnight dates to the confirmed festival date and check availability separately.
