Can we join partway instead of walking the whole route?

Yes. It starts on Ostrów Tumski, crosses Most Piaskowy, then follows Piaskowa, Świętej Katarzyny and Wita Stwosza to the Rynek, so you can wait anywhere along the way or head straight to the square for the finale.

Do kids need a costume?

No, it is open to everyone. Organizers encourage dressing up as one of the characters, and an angel or shepherd outfit is easy to put together at home.

Yes, the carols and anything said from the stage are in Polish. Kids who don't speak it can still follow the costumes, the kings and the music.

About

A walking Nativity procession through Wrocław's old town on Epiphany. Costumed kings, angels, shepherds, a lamplighter and a star-bearer lead the crowd, and everyone sings carols. Families walk with it rather than watch from the curb, and organizers encourage kids to come dressed as one of the characters. It ends with a concert on the Rynek. It is a church-led event, so the carols and message are religious.
