The Extraordinary Flight of Bolesław Orliński and Leonard Kubiak’ to commemorate the centenary of the historic Warsaw–Tokyo–Warsaw flight. The display featured historical artifacts, including Orliński’s suitcase, original documents regarding Japanese honors like the Order of the Rising Sun, and previously unpublished photographs from Kubiak’s album. Additionally, the museum prepared to host the 28th Małopolska Voivodeship Harvest Festival on September 6, 2026. This marks the first time the regional celebration will be held in Kraków, featuring traditional rituals, agricultural machinery exhibitions, and regional food tastings. The festival is expected to include a field mass led by Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś and traditional harvest wreath competitions, including a new ‘Audience Wreath’ category. As the festival approaches, specific programming details have been released. The event will feature a Polonaise performed by the Mystkowianie Regional Ensemble and a concert by the artist Cleo. Regional Marshal Łukasz Smółka described the festival as a celebration of gratitude for the harvest and a way to honor the hard work of farmers and generational traditions. The festivities are scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM. In Toruń, the inaugural Copernicus Airshow debuted on August 30, attracting thousands of visitors to the Bulwar Filadelfijski. Organized by the Local Tourist Organization of the Toruń Metropolis and Grupa FALCO under the patronage of Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, the event featured daytime aerobatics by Polish and international pilots—including Red Bull Air Race champion Łukasz Czepiela—as well as a concert and a night-time pyrotechnic and light spectacle. The airshow involved significant local traffic and pedestrian restrictions. Coinciding with the airshow was the 6th Auto Moto Show at MotoPark, which showcased nearly 300 vehicles. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Kraków to host Małopolska Voivodeship harvest festival for the first time The Małopolska Voivodeship harvest festival will be held in Kraków for the first time on September 6 at the Polish Aviation Museum, featuring traditional ceremonies, wreath competitions, and regional culture. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/krakw-to-host-maopolska-voivodeship-harvest-festival-for-the-first-time ### 2026-08-31: Copernicus Air Show debuts in Toruń with aerial displays The first Copernicus Air Show in Toruń drew thousands of spectators for a day of military and civilian aviation displays, concluding with a night-time light and pyrotechnic spectacle. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/copernicus-air-show-debuts-in-toru-with-aerial-displays ### 2026-08-28: Toruń to host major airshow and automotive festival Toruń hosts two major events on August 30: the Copernicus Airshow, featuring aerial displays with local traffic restrictions, and the Auto Moto Show, showcasing nearly 300 vehicles and motorsport stunts. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/toru-to-host-major-airshow-and-automotive-festival ### 2026-08-26: Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków to host historic flight exhibition and harvest festival The Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków will host an exhibition on the historic 1926 Warsaw–Tokyo flight and the 28th Małopolska Voivodeship Harvest Festival. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polish-aviation-museum-in-krakw-to-host-historic-flight-exhibition-and-harvest-festival ### 2026-08-24: Aviation festivals scheduled for Toruń and Kraków Poland hosts major aviation events on August 30, including the Copernicus Airshow in Toruń and the Polish Aviation Festival in Kraków, celebrating historical flight milestones. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/aviation-festivals-scheduled-for-toru-and-krakw ### 2026-08-12: Polish Aviation Museum to host 2026 Aviation Day in Kraków The Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków will celebrate Polish Aviation Day on August 30, 2026, marking the centenary of Bolesław Orliński and Leonard Kubiak’s historic flight from Warsaw to Tokyo. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polish-aviation-museum-to-host-2026-aviation-day-in-krakw --- Cite as: Polish aviation festivals and commemorations.
