Jana Kilińskiego Street Festival – 1920s, 1930s.

The Mayor of the City of Białystok, Tadeusz Truskolaski, and the ‘Śródmieście’ Community Center in Białystok invite you to the Jana Kilińskiego Street Festival, which will take place on May 26 (Sunday) at 12:00-16:00.

The whole of Jana Kilińskiego Street will be bustling with life on this day – the institutions and restaurants located there will be preparing special offers for participants!
The inter-war atmosphere will be felt through a number of attractions, and music will accompany the whole time. From the balcony of one of the old townhouses located on Kilińskiego Street, pre-war tangos played live by a violinist will resound. The Stylish Dance Orchestra will perform on stage with a special repertoire from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as budding artists from the ‘Śródmiescie’ Community Center, including the Early Music and Dance Ensemble ‘Capella Antiqua Bialostociensis’ under the direction of Helena Szuhalska, who will present the dance etude ‘Panna Andzia’. There will also be plenty of laughs! Seniors from the ‘Lumbago’ Cabaret under the direction of Adam Zieleniecki will entertain the audience with songs in a performance entitled ‘With a smile in Podlasie’. Delightful outfits from the 1920s and 1930s will be presented by students of the ZSTiO z Oddziałami Integracyjnymi im. Stanisława Staszica w Białymstoku during a fashion show in the scenery of Kilińskiego Street, which will be created, among other things, by vintage cars. All participants are encouraged to style their clothes with reference to the inter-war period, as there will be a fashion styling competition from the 1920s-30s. The best styles will be awarded!

Photographs in exhibitions, but not only! Commemorative photos await the participants!
Participation in the event will be immortalised in a commemorative photograph. Photos will be printed on site from a retro photobooth.
‘Retrovision’ is an exhibition at the ‘Śródmieście’ Community Center, which consists, among other things, of photographs stylised from the interwar period. The ‘Herring in Porcelain’ exhibition and the snapshot exhibition ‘From Kilinski’ will be on display at the Army Museum. The UMB Museum of the History of Medicine and Pharmacy invites you to visit exhibitions on the history of medicine and a multimedia exhibition on the history of the Branicki Palace in Bialystok in the 17th-century palace cellars.

Attractions for the whole family
The day will also include a guided tour of the Guest Palace and the mechanism of the historic clock in the Great Griffin Gate. In addition to exhibitions, the Army Museum will host games and activities from the inter-war period (including horseshoe toss, classes, pipe rolling), as well as an art workshop for children entitled ‘Self-made card for Mother’s Day’. At the Marchand Independent Art Gallery, you will be able to let your artistic expression run wild. Not only an exhibition, but also a ‘Meet the artists over coffee’ and ‘Free painting’ under the guidance of professionals will be waiting there.
Free entry to all events!
