About Jarosław

The main event organised by the association is the International Festival of Early Music ‘The Song of Our Roots’ which takes place in the last week of August. Previously, the festival was held in Stary Sącz.

Jarosław throughout a week of duration of the festival becomes a vitally important place for music lovers from all over the world.

Artists gather in Jarosław from many countries, i.a., Ukraine, Russia, Spain, Lebanon, Morocco, Italy, Germany, Finland, Romania, Greece, Great Britain and the Czech Republic. During the concerts, we can listen to different kinds of music, e.g.: medieval, Baroque, Byzantine vocal, Gregorian chant.

In the year 2017 already 25th edition of the festival was held. At the time of the festival in Jarosław, one more very important cultural event takes place, namely the Jarosław Fair. During this four-day celebration the Market Square comes alive as in the old days when Jarosław fairs attracted merchants from all over the world. The Jarosław Fair in conjunction with the festival have become a showcase of Jarosław on the cultural map of Poland.
