Is there anything for toddlers?

Yes. The 2026 edition had a painting and play area (Strefa Malownicza) for the youngest, plus short storytelling and music shows of about 30 minutes on the small stage by the moat.

Does my kid need Polish?

The storytelling, talks and concerts are in Polish. Wreath weaving, the folk dances, the parade and the light show need no Polish.

Where do they float the wreaths?

The parade walks from the castle to the bank of the Bystrzyca river, where everyone sets their wreaths on the water.

About

Noc Świętojańska is Wrocław's long-running midsummer festival in the park, moat and amphitheater around Leśnica Castle. Kids weave flower wreaths, hear Slavic folk tales, watch old dances and outdoor theater with giant puppets, and hunt through the castle cellars in a family game. After dark, a parade carries the wreaths to the Bystrzyca river to float them, and a light show plays across the castle walls.
