Carnaval Sztukmistrzów Festival - July

Carnival is a period when basic laws of everyday life are suspended, and the entire social and cultural order is overturned. Just like a juggler (or artist) is a synonym for a freak, a weirdo and outcast, the time of the carnival is a synonym of the time of the feast, the abolition of rights, duties and norms.
Carnaval Sztukmistrzów is held every summer in July and is one of the major events on the cultural map of Lublin. During the festival, street concerts, acrobatic, juggling and circus shows, stage and street performances and many more are organized.
