Organised by the Krakow Festival Office, the city's annual Pierogi Festival celebrates one of Poland's staple foods, the dumpling. Similar to ravioli, these semi-circular dough parcels are stuffed with fillings such as mashed potato, cheese, mushrooms, boiled egg and meat.
Tourists and locals alike can enjoy the nation's dish at tasting sessions throughout Krakow city, accompanied a helping of art events, fairs and dumpling-cooking competitions.
