Jarmark Anny i Boguslawa The 2nd Anna and Boguslaw’s Fair. This year 2005 it took place in August. Anna and Boguslaw are the names of prince couple who once owned Pomeranian Dukes' Castle and ruled in the Pomerania. This fair is something new in Szczecin. In 2005 it was organised for the second time. The description sounds interestingly: "The 2nd Anna and Boguslaw’s Fair shall be opened by solemn wedding cere-mony of Anna and Boguslaw that will take place at the Boguslaw’s Promenade. After the wedding ceremony the wedding procession will pass along Szczecin streets heading for the courtyard of the Castle of the Pomeranian Dukes.24-25.08The Sabbath soirées i.e. Concerts of Jewish Songs.26.08 The concert by the invited guests and actors of the Polish Theatre.27.08 Culinary Show featuring stars of the Polish cuisine , the Polish Theatre performance.28.08 The gala concert featuring performers from the Piwnica pod Baranami [Cellar under Rams] and actors of the Polish Theatre, ending the II nd Anna and Boguslaw’s Fair."

Though Szczecin is situated about 60 km from the Baltic coast - the maritime character of Szczecin can be seen here. We have shipyards, the Maritime University ( and its students going on the streets , wearing uniforms ), in the middle of the city there is a marina. We have also the Sea Festival. Then you can see the gala of sailing vessels, many concerst, the display of fire works. The Szczecin's City Council have set the permanent term, when the Sea Festival in Szczecin will take place each year. It is organised in the second weekend ( from Friday till Sunday) of each June annually. Leave a Comment

 pedestrian crossing. by planxty In the UK, pedestrian signs are treated, at best, as an advisory rather than an order. Not so in Szczecin. I was particularly struck by the way people waited patiently (often for long periods) for the "green man" to show, even if there wasn't a vehicle to be seen. I have no idea if this means the Poles are inherently more law-abiding than Britons or whether the local police (who are much in evidence) take a dim view. I'm a firm believer in "when in Rome......." and I wouldn't advise jay-walking here. Leave a Comment

by ZiOOlek This kind of advertising is probably one of the best in attracting people's attention when walking on the streets. You may find good examples of the averts on streets of Szczecin and the one is really unique.:)

 Dancing Salsa in Szczecin by sprdak11 If you like to dance salsa, it's a tip for you. In Szczecin there are a few good schools of this sort of dancing, also some clubs specialise in this sort of music. Some salsa dancers have a custom to gather each Friday at 8 p.m. from April til September at Jasne Blonia under "the Monument of Tree Eagles" and dance. Everone can join.
