TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

Every year since 1988 Kraków has hosted a festival of Jewish culture centered in Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter of the city. From Saturday, the 26th of June until Sunday, the 4th of July you can find daily events including workshops for topics such as Hasidic dance and song, klezmology, Hebrew calligraphy, Jewish paper cutting and cooking. And of course concerts — lots of concerts. Last year’s grand finale concert (to give you an idea of the scale) had and audience of 13,000. This year the festival will feature dozens of performers and thousands of participants from all over the world. Check the events schedule on the festival website to see what’s happening.
