On the festival of Assumption of Mary (15 August), the Institute of Heritage and the Congregation of Cracovian Merchants host the traditional Magical Power of Bouquets. Holy Mass at the Basilica of St Mary is followed by the blessing of fragrant herbs and flowers, and a colourful pageant sets off for the Small Market Square. The award-giving ceremony for the most beautiful bouquet is followed by a performance by Lachersi. The event forms a part of this year’s Cracovia Sacra Night.
