Tarnowskie Góry 500th anniversary celebrations

Overview

Tarnowskie Góry celebrated its 500th anniversary through the Gwarki festival, held from September 10 to 13, 2026. The jubilee honored the city’s mining heritage and historical development dating back to 1526, when mining freedom privileges were granted.

Preparations included a ceremonial session by the Tarnowskie Góry City Council on September 9, where local officials and representatives from Tarnogórski County signed a commemorative declaration. This session also featured historical lectures by professors Ryszard Kaczmarek and Jerzy Sperka.

The festival program featured musical performances by the Silesian Philharmonic, Dżem, and Young Leosia. The festivities culminated on September 13 with the traditional Gwarki parade, a central event featuring historical figures such as Jan III Sobieski and Marysieńka, alongside local authorities and regional representatives from Tuchola County.

To manage the large-scale event, local police were supported by prevention units and mounted officers from Katowice and Częstochowa. Security and traffic management efforts included over 170 police interventions and the inspection of 150 vehicles during the celebrations.
