Mineral Shows (13-17th July)
There are two mineral shows during the conference period in the town. The Town Center mineral show is a regular part of the Lwówek Crystal Days festival, it takes over the full town center, and contains rocks, gem, jewellery and mineral dealers, selling mostly inexpensive local minerals.
