One of Szczecin’s most popular summer events is set to return this July. The 17th edition of the St. James Fair will take place from 23 to 26 July 2026 in the historic surroundings of St. James Archcathedral Basilica, right in the heart of the city.

As every year, the fair will bring together artisans, craftsmen and food vendors from across Poland and abroad. Visitors will have the opportunity to browse handmade products, discover traditional crafts and enjoy a wide variety of regional and international culinary specialties.

The St. James Fair is much more than a marketplace. The event programme will also include attractions for children, live music performances, concerts and the traditional indulgence mass connected with the patron saint of the cathedral.

With its unique atmosphere and iconic location, the fair has become one of Szczecin’s key summer attractions. It offers an excellent opportunity for tourists to explore the city, experience local culture and enjoy a festive celebration of craftsmanship, heritage and gastronomy.
