On 3rd June children and their parents are invited to celebrate the Children’s Day right in the centre of the city - on the Market Square. This year we are going to turn back time and enjoy the games, which were popular in the past. Take this opportunity and join such activities as a rubber band jump, a hopscotch, building 10 000 blocks, blowing soap bubbles and many others. The aim of the event is to show children that it is possible to enjoy yourself without the Internet, smartphones or video game consoles. The only thing you need is your imagination and some space.

The activities will be divided into several thematic sections ranging from ”Every day in the playground”, where children will be able to play the games their parents loved, through ”Holiday in the playground” offering the kids more festive activities such as a face painting, an inflatable slide riding or eating a sugar cane cotton candy. The last section called ”Work in the playground” includes 10 000 LEGO blocks to play with and a variety of art workshops to stimulate all five senses.

Time: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. with a special film screening of a popular Polish cartoon „Bolek i Lolek wśród górników” at 12 a.m., at Światowid Cinema.

Apart from the entertainment zone there will be a lot of other attractions such as kolobeżki i.e. Czech scooters, acrobatic shows, fun and games in English for kids, a reading and drawing section or an ice cream trolley with 160 free scoops for the youngest children.

Children’s Day is the best time for the Final of the project called „Katowickie Kilometry Dobra” (Katowice’s Miles for Good”). The goal of the project, which was initiated in March, was to collect money for the change of life of children and youth from difficult environments. After three months of the campaign, the sum of all payments is over 80 thousand zlotys, or over 1800 metres of good. You will be able to see the course of the whole project documented in the photos, displayed at the Main Market Square.
