Święto Owczej Wełny is an annual autumn event at the Kashubian Ethnographic Park celebrating the local sheep farming and wool-spinning tradition 1. Held on a Saturday in October, it features demonstrations of sheep shearing, spinning and weaving, workshops on wool crafts, lectures on traditional textiles, and a craft market selling wool products. The festival honors the historical importance of wool in Kashubian culture.
Kashubian villages historically raised sheep and valued wool crafts. This modern festival preserves those customs by teaching an urban and younger audience how wool is processed and used in folk art 1. It also connects to the traditional economy and rural life of Kaszuby.
