Wawel Royal Castle at Dusk

Summer Music Festival

August 2–11, 2024
The Wawel at Dusk summer festival brings together music with a landmark historical site, which lends it a distinctive character and unforgettable setting. The concert venues – Wawel Castle’s illuminated Arcaded and Báthory Courtyards – also play an key role in the artistic spectacle. The changing lights and colors render the sound not only audible, but also seemingly visible.

Information for recipients

  • Entrance to concerts in the Arcaded Courtyard: Berrecci Gate and the gate next to the Senator's Tower.
    The gate opens 45 minutes before the start of the concert.
  • In case of inclement weather, concerts in the Batory Courtyard will be held in the Senator's Hall.
The concerts take place in open space – in the royal courtyards: Batory and Arcaded Courtyards. We are playing ‘in Nature’, so please protect yourself against possible cold or rain with headgear, cloaks or scarves (not necessarily umbrellas, which may disturb others). Remember: the weather can be changeable, although the music always keeps you cheerful.  
 
We also ask you not to take photos or record during the concerts. We will be grateful for switching off mobile phones and electronic devices: they may disturb the beauty of the music and the contemplation of the illuminated architecture of the Wawel Royal Castle. 
 
We wish all the audience an unforgettable aesthetic experience!
