During the holidays, Kętrzyn holds a series of outdoor events that enhance the town’s offer for tourists. The “Kętrzyńskie Lato” event organised in July hosts important Polish music bands and attracts thousands of tourists. July is also the month when the castle hosts thousands of tourists who come to the St. Jacob’s Medieval Fair. The August Brass Band Parade is very popular among people living in Kętrzyn.
