Re:tradition Playground – traditional games and activities for children
This year, the Re:tradition Playground is moving to a new location – the events will take place in the garden of Dom na Podwalu, next to the Błonia (Podwale 15, entrance from the Błonia side). It’s a space where adults can reminisce about their childhood, while children can discover the incredible variety of traditional games and toys.
As every year during the Festival, there will also be a chance to bring wooden toys made by Jan Puk, a Lasowiak folk artist, to life, put together block puzzles featuring paintings by the renowned Lublin painter Stanisław Koguciuk, or try playing the Kashubian burczybas and devil’s fiddle made by Tadeusz Makowski. There will also be colourful horses, hens on ramps and carousels from Stryszawa and Pewel Wielka, places long renowned for their traditional toy-making. On top of that, there will be special tables for playing flea games, tracks for bottle-cap races, a mud kitchen, as well as rubber-band games and Lubartów pick-up sticks!
