Nikiszowiec Fair 2024

Nikiszowiec, the historic district of Katowice, attracts thousands of visitors every year to a unique event - Jarmark na Nikiszowiec. It is not only an opportunity to buy handicrafts and regional specialities, but above all to experience the unique atmosphere of Christmas in the heart of Upper Silesia.

Brief history of the Nikisz Fair

Jarmark na Nikiszu is a tradition dating back a dozen years or so, which is gaining in popularity with each edition. Initially a modest event with a few dozen exhibitors, it has evolved into one of the most important festive events in the region. Nikiszowiec, known for its unique architecture and rich mining history, has become a place that attracts tourists from all over Poland thanks to the fair.

What awaits us in 2024?

This year's Nikisz Fair will take place on 6-8 December 2024. The organisers have prepared many attractions that are sure to delight both regulars and new visitors.

This year, the fair will feature as many as 180 exhibitors. Visitors will have the opportunity to buy, among other things, ceramics, jewellery, wood, glass or woollen goods. There will also be traditional Christmas decorations such as baubles, centrepieces and gingerbread. In addition, for lovers of regional flavours there will be stands with food products including liqueurs, syrups, honeys, jams and preserves. The gastronomic zone will satisfy every gourmet, offering traditional regional dishes.

Attractions

This year, the organisers focused on concerts by orchestras and choirs. Special attractions have been prepared for the youngest on the occasion of Santa Claus, including the traditional Viennese carousel, which has already become a symbol of the fair. In addition, the Nikiszowiec space will feature Christmas illuminations and short films about Silesian traditions connected with Christmas, the fair and Nikiszowiec itself.

How to get to the Nikiszowiec Fair?

Due to the great interest in the event and the limited number of parking spaces, the organisers are encouraging people to use the free bus lines. The first line will run directly from the Katowice underground station at the railway station. The second line will start its route at the Katowice Municipal Cemetery at Murckowska Avenue. Both lines will end their route at the Janów-Zamkowa Skwer stop, which is located right next to the fair.
