78th Kraków Nativity Scenes Contest

On the day of the contest, nativity scene makers will start arriving in the Main Market Square early in the morning, hoping to find the best place to present their works on the steps at the foot of Adam Mickiewicz Monument. After the bugle call at 12.00 am, the contestants will form a procession and walk around the square towards the stage, which is where the official presentation of their works will take place. The results will be announced on Sunday, 6 December. All the nativity scenes will be traditionally displayed at the post-contest exhibition.
