Traditional Rekawka Festival In Krakow

In Krakow, Poland, on April 22, 2025, a battle of warriors depicts the clash of Chrobry's troops with the Czechs during the Traditional Rekawka Festival under the slogan ''Chrobry takes over Krakow'' on Krakus Mound. The 24th edition of the annual 'Rekawka' holiday at the Krakus Mound in Krakow takes place on the first Tuesday after Easter. The festival refers to the Slavic holiday commemorating the dead ancestors. The leitmotif of this year's celebrations is ''Chrobry takes over Krakow'' on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of the first king of Poland, Boleslaw the Brave.
