September 8 - 10, 2023

Our latest attraction was a ride on the Festival Electric Railway , straight out of a fairy tale about dwarves! The colorful electric train ran on the Wroclaw Promenade at the Old Town Garden.

Traditionally, at the end of the activities in the garden we organized a dwarf Silent Disco! Positive fun after dark with the best music, only that… in complete silence. Three channels, three different styles of music – there was something for everyone!

Theatrical performances and workshops

On Saturday, September 9, at every full hour, we showed premiere fairy tales about Wroclaw’s dwarfs on the festival stage. This is already a festival tradition! Three short stories about the adventures of the dwarves were prepared by graduates of the Academy of Theater Arts in Wroclaw.

Board game tournament for the Dwarf Cup.

Young fans of Wroclaw dwarf games, we invited to Mediateka for the game “Track of Wroclaw Dwarves”, dwarf “Monopoly” and the card game “Dwarf Quiz”. On the other hand, older children (age 12+) and adult board game fans were invited to Awaria Prąd (28 Szczytnicka St.), where we played “Nidavellir” and “In the Grotto of the King of the Mountains.”
