At the AGH University, the Miner’s Day, or St Barbara’s Day, the main celebrations will take place on 4–5 and 12–13 December. AGH University Rector Jerzy Lis, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Resource Management Arkadiusz Kustra, and Head of the Miner’s Day Committee Zbigniew Burtan would like to invite AGH University alumni, employees, students, and enthusiasts to join the festivities.

After a hiatus of a few years, you will be able to experience the traditional mining procession, walking the streets of Krakow with lanterns and torches to the sound of music by the AGH University Representative Orchestra. This part of the mining celebrations is particularly spectacular and attracts the attention of both locals and tourists.
