Description
KRAKOW, POLAND - JUNE 2, 2018: The annual 18th Great Dragon Parade event features an evening river parade of huge colorful dragons floating above the Vistula River in front of Wawel Castle to a backdrop of lasers, fireworks and music. The event is one of Krakow's cultural highlights and is enjoyed by thousands of locals as well as tourists.
The Wawel dragon is the most famous dragon in Poland. It is rooted in Krakow`s tradition and culture and is well known to every Polish child. You can't miss it when in town, really - the dragon is present in the streets, schools, offices, radio and TV stations, literature, theater, advertisements and commercials. Legend has it that the evil dragon used to live in a cave under the castle by the river and day the evil would beat a path of destruction across the countryside, killing people, pillaging their homes, and devouring their livestock. In many versions of the story, the dragon especially enjoyed eating young maidens. I'm happy to report, he is no longer terrorizing the neighborhood. The dreadful beast was slain many years ago by a clever young man.
