At the beginning of June for two days a year, the old city of Krakow turns into the mysterious oriental place filled with numerous ancient mythical creatures, led by the dragon - one of the symbols of the former capital of Poland. According to the legend, the dragon lived in a cave under the Wawel Hill and, as usual, terrorized the City of Kings. This old city legend was staged for the first time by the local Groteska Theatre in 2000. The Great Dragon Parade or the Wielka Parada Smoków takes place in the historic area of Staré Misto and has quickly evolved into an annual tradition. The procession of giant snakes fills not only the streets but all the water and air space of the city. Fantastic creatures of various colors: snarling and fire-breathing, moving on stilts and wheels, floating and flying. The street parade is complemented by the masquerade of knights and court ladies, as well as games and mass folk dances. The festivities are accompanied by musical, laser and luxury pyrotechnic shows.

The month of June continues to gladden the tourists with the chain of bright events. The Lajkonik, which is considered an unofficial symbol of Krakow, obtained its own holiday - the Lajkonik Festival. It takes place on the first Thursday after the Corpus Christi. On this day, without reference to the weather, the rider in the bright clothes rides around the city on the wooden horse. The big company of people dressed in national costumes, gonfaloniers, and musicians follow the rider. The first stop Lajkonik does in the courtyard of the St. Norbert monastery, and then, along with his retinue, makes a circle through the city streets. The procession comes to the end at the Market Square, where the loud rider performs a dashing dance. The origin and the meaning of this custom remain unknown even for the local people. The most popular legend connects the festival with the latest, in the history of Krakow, the attack of the Tatars.
