Filled with fireworks and flare guns - Jastarnicka Sobótka is part folklore festival, part rite of passage, and the town’s 19-year-olds take centre stage. Their costumes reflect local maritime and piracy folklore, and the climax of the night is a unique fire lighting ceremony. The Travel Show's Reece Parkinson has been travelling across Poland's Baltic Coast to see if it could become Europe's new alternative to a summer in the resorts of the Mediterranean.
