Instrument Fair

The Instrument Fair, which is the culminating element of the Mazurkas of the World Festival every year, is a colorful carnival that fosters an informal, creative network of artists.

We invite exhibitors from Poland, Europe, and the whole world to present their work: traditional, classical, historical, reconstructions, as well as novel musical inventions. As in previous years, the Fortress will also host instrument technicians, tuners, collectors, musicians, researchers, musicologists, and museum specialists.

The exhibition is combined with concerts, workshops, showcases, theater, spontaneous music and a rich set of activities for children. In 2022, we hosted over 100 instrument makers from difrent countries. We hope this event will grow even richer in the coming years.
