Also this running weekend in Gdansk will be a grand international fair, one of the largest in Eastern Europe.
St. Dominic’s Fair (or Jarmark Dominika or simply Jarmark as it’s referred to in Polish), is on par with Weihnachtsmarkt and Oktoberfest when it comes to both size and visibility. The festival dates all the way back to 1260, when it was established by Pope Alexander IV, the good old days when a fair could persuade you to attend a pardon mass and cut your stay in purgatory by a whopping 100 days.
Originally the fair kicked off with bell ringing and the call for around 400 ships to come to Gdańsk to ply their wares. It was always an important event for the town in which the king and nobility took part; the most memorable being in 1310 where Teutonic knights used the absence of the king and invaded. It ran up to World War II when the fair was stopped for 33 years.
Plan your active weekend together with St. Dominic Run 2018 and visit magical Gdańsk on 4th August!
