In 2010 we also went to the Praga Multicultural Festival (
here in 4 different posts). We really enjoyed it last time, so headed off again last year to see what was about and if it would be better, worse, or just the same. Once we took the metro, tram and a short stroll to get to Ząbkowska, we arrived to where last year the whole street was closed and it was a happy party time for all. This year due to roadworks in other parts of the city they couldn't close Ząbkowska as it is a relatively main road for the area and so it really had a different feel to it from the start. They used a similar system of a culture per courtyard, but it just didn't have that same carnival feel to it. I think also it was smaller in size/locations. Either way we enjoyed strolling about. There are plenty of photos so it will not make all in one post so enjoy them.
