PIEROGI FESTIWAL AND SUMMER OF SLOTHS - TWO LAZY FOOD FESTIVALS THIS WEEKEND :)



If you missed the slowfood festival Jemynapolu in July, which I mentioned here, don't worry!  Because this weekend, from Thursday to Sunday (8th to 11th August 2013), Kraków will host two other food and culture festivals.

The first one is XI Festiwal Pierogów (meaning '11th Pierogi Festival' in Polish) in Mały Rynek (a small square behind St. Mary's Church adjacent to the Main Market Square). Pierogi are traditional Polish dumplings with various fillings. They're simply delicious.

More information on the Pierogi Festival (in Polish) can be found here.


The second one is a slowfood and music festival IV Lato Leniwców (meaning '4th Summer of Sloths' in Polish), which will take place in plac Szczepański (Szczepański Square, also quite close to the Main Market Square).
More details (in Polish) and photos here.

Don't miss them! :)

PS. If you want to learn more about traditional Polish cuisine, you can read my short Polish-English food dictionary. :)
