Bread Festival

XXIX Bread Festival in Gdańsk

Traditionally, the Bread Festival will be held at the 764th St. Fair.

Dominika, and its organizer is the Association of Baking Craftsmen of the Republic of Poland. One of the most important goals is to educate consumers about consuming high-quality cereal products, building awareness of the need to include cereal products in every meal consumed and their impact on our health.

We invite you to dietary consultations, which will be devoted to the practical aspects of the participation of high-quality bread in the diet. We also do not forget about the craft baking traditions, about which you will be able to talk to the master bakers present at the event.

Not only delicious baked goods

Traditionally, there will be good music and a program for children prepared by the Qfer Theater on stage.

On behalf of the Guild of Bakers and Confectioners in Gdańsk, we would like to extend a special invitation to those of you who bake bread at home in your own kitchen to participate in the competition with prizes.

The 29th Bread Festival in Gdańsk is financed from the Fund for the Promotion of Cereal Grains and Grain Products.
