We love pets — in fact, Matrix the dog is a proud member of our team!
But for the comfort, well-being, and safety of your furry friends, we kindly encourage you to leave them at home for this one special night.
Night of Culture draws hundreds of people, with loud sounds, bright lights, and a flurry of stimuli — all of which can overwhelm even the most socialized pets.
Let’s give them a peaceful evening.
P.S. Matrix is staying home too.

Events with limited capacity
Yes — you’re welcome to take photos at most Night of Culture events!
There are a few exceptions, such as concerts and theatre performances, where photography may be restricted.
In those cases, look out for signs at the venue or listen for announcements from the stage MC.
You’ll also find this information noted in the event descriptions on nockultury.pl.
So go ahead — capture the magic, but please respect any posted guidelines.
Night of Culture is all about movement — whether you’re zipping from one installation to the next or taking a slow stroll through the Old Town’s alleys. That’s why we recommend wearing comfortable clothes, especially good shoes.
This is not a formal night — so yes, you can absolutely enjoy a string quartet in jeans and a T-shirt.
Pro tip: Pack a bottle of water and some snacks. After 10:00 p.m., restaurants and food spots can get crowded, and the wait times may be long.
About alcohol:
Drinking in public spaces is prohibited by law in Poland, and Night of Culture is no exception. If you fancy a glass of wine or a pint, please head to one of the many bars, cafés, or pubs in the Old Town and nearby.
Choose your own adventure
There’s no central opening ceremony — Night of Culture kicks off simultaneously across many locations.
Your experience is what you make it!
We recommend browsing the full programme in advance, but don’t worry if you don’t — every year, we see happy explorers wandering spontaneously and having a blast.
Let the city surprise you
Oh, there are so many fantastic things to see and do — far more than we can fit on this page!

The City of Lublin closes Królewska Street every summer weekend — and Night of Culture will be no exception.
The street will be closed to traffic between Bajkowskiego Street and Podwale Street.
Drivers coming from Bajkowskiego Street will be directed left onto Lubartowska Street. Access to local properties will be possible from Wyszyńskiego Street.
Due to the large number of festival participants, we strongly recommend avoiding the Old Town area by car and steering clear of Królewska and Lubartowska Streets.
Night of Culture usually takes place on the first weekend of June, from 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
