We Will Reward the Creators of Harvest Festival Welcome Displays

The next edition of the “Creative Harvest Festival Welcome Display 2026” competition is approaching. The regional government is encouraging village communities to work together to create original decorations that will enhance harvest festival celebrations while highlighting the identity of their localities and the involvement of local residents.

Harvest festival welcome displays are more than just decorations for the celebration of the harvest. They symbolise cooperation and commitment and help promote the places where we live. I encourage all village communities to work together to create original decorations showcasing the beauty of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie countryside and the richness of our traditions. I hope this year’s edition will produce many interesting ideas and demonstrate the strength of small local communities,” says Marshal Piotr Całbecki.

The competition is open to all village communities in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region. Its aim is to preserve the long-standing tradition of creating harvest festival welcome displays, encourage residents to become actively involved and promote local communities.
