The story

Szczecin Days of the Sea in Szczecin

Szczecin's Days of the Sea festival, rooted in Poland's national Swieto Morza tradition dating to 1932, now runs each August under the Zagle, or Sails, branding, bringing tall ships to dock along the Oder river for public boarding alongside a craft market and shanty concerts.

Poland's relationship with the sea has long carried more symbolic weight than its coastline length might suggest, and Szczecin's Days of the Sea festival reflects that history directly.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event traces back to Poland's national Days of the Sea tradition, first celebrated in Gdynia in 1932 and marked by a major postwar edition in Szczecin in 1947 tied to the Trzymajmy Straz nad Odra, or Let Us Keep Watch Over the Oder, civic campaign

02

The mystery stays covered

Today's festival, branded Zagle and typically held in mid-August, features tall ships moored on both banks of the Oder for public boarding, a Jarmark pod Zaglami craft market, a dedicated food-truck and street-food zone called Food Port, and shanty concerts, and it operates independently of the separate Baltic Sail alliance of northern European tall-ship ports
