The story

Skierniewice Festival of Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables in Skierniewice

The Skierniewice Festival of Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables has run since 1977 each September, pairing a horticultural fair from the city's Institute of Horticulture with new plant and produce exhibitions, seedling sales, fireworks, and a civic parade that once drew about two thousand participants and residents.

Skierniewice is not a typical Polish harvest-festival town; it is home to a genuine national horticultural research institute, and that scientific backbone has shaped its signature festival since the very beginning.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Added to Poland's national event calendar in 1979 and organized jointly by city authorities and the Instytut Ogrodnictwa, formerly led from 1951 to 1983 by Professor Szczepan Pieniazek, the festival centers on Skierniewice's genuine horticultural research heritage rather than a generic harvest theme

02

The mystery stays covered

A 2009 edition designated the Year of Professor Pieniazek featured a bust unveiling and a memorial bench by sculptor Robert Sobociński, along with a commemorative coin pun on his surname, since pieniazek means little coin in Polish

03

The city starts moving

The 2011 edition drew an estimated 150,000 visitors and earned certification as the Best Tourist Product of the Lodz Voivodeship, and the festival's 2026 edition marks its forty-ninth year running
