At the beginning of March (sometimes in late February) another important event takes place - namely, Topienie Marzanny (The Drowning of Marzanna), which dates back to pagan times. A straw figure symbolizing Marzanna, that is, death itself, is placed on a pole and carried to the drowning place by young girls. At the drowning site, Marzanna is not only thrown into the water but also stoned to prevent death from "rising from the dead". But this is not the end - festivities begin, and all participants feel as if they have "conquered death." Fun contests are held, music sounds everywhere, traditional Polish food is served - the holiday is always full of fun.

The amber capital of Poland hosts one of the oldest fairs in Europe. It is called Jarmark św. Dominika and held in late July or early August. Besides the fact that here you can buy all kinds of artworks and amber Gdansk is famous for, during the festival visitors have a unique opportunity to participate in a number of events like watching fireworks and concerts. The fair is held in the Old Town. In Schopenhauer's hometown, you can also listen to jazz twice a year.
