Venues
Dworek Białoprądnicki
Built in the 16th century as a summer residence for the Bishop of Kraków, Dworek Białoprądnicki resembles a Renaissance villa and was once a lively meeting ground of diplomats, poets and thinkers. Nestled in a park just outside the Old Town, its open grounds and historic architecture make it a uniquely beautiful backdrop for the main festival stage — where Celtic music can fill the air in a setting that feels, somehow, both ancient and festive.
Klub Pod Jaszczurami
Right on the Main Market Square, Pod Jaszczurami has been a magnet for students and music lovers since the 1960s. Its gothic hall features one of only five asymmetric gothic vaults in all of Poland, listed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. With its long history of live music spanning jazz, folk and beyond, and a summer terrace overlooking the heart of old Kraków, it’s a fitting and atmospheric home for the opening night of Kraków Celtic Festival.
Stary Port
Tucked into a 300m² cellar near the city centre, Stary Port has been one of Poland’s best-known maritime taverns since 2001. With its folk roots, intimate atmosphere and tradition of live music, Stary Port is a natural and soulful setting for Celtic Festival performances.
Klub Pod Jaszczurami
Duffy’s Irish Bar—an authentic Irish pub in the heart of Kraków’s magical Kazimierz district! This is the home of weekly Irish music sessions—running since 2016—and the very place where the idea for a Celtic culture festival in Kraków was born. You’ll find refreshing drinks on tap and in the fridges, friendly service behind the bar, and—in the rooms tucked away within the cellar labyrinth—a true Irish spirit and the atmosphere of the Emerald Isle. This is also where we will wrap up this year’s Kraków Celtic Festival with a farewell music session!
