Perspektywy — 9 Hills Festival 2021
Perspektywy — 9 Hills Festival
“Perspectives” 9 Hills is a relatively young festival on Poland’s cultural map. Adding that to the fact that this event takes place in a relatively small (yet no less charming!) town might make one jump to a completely incorrect conclusion that it’s worth no attention.

Festival of Ceramics 2020
Report from Bolesławiec Festival of Ceramics 2020
Despite happening in the shadow of COVID-19 pandemic, Bolesławiec Festival of Ceramics has once again proved to be an exceptional event – not just by Lower Silesian standards, but on nationwide scale. While a lower attendance than that of the past editions was to be expected, the organizers and exhibitors had no reason to complain about shortage of tourists – including those from abroad.
Although the festival is under patronage of local pottery craftsmen, a wide variety of ceramic products from all over Poland were exhibited by representatives of both major businesses and smaller (usually family-run) ones. Stalls with pottery and other handicraft were set up all over Bolesławiec Town Square and the adjoining streets.
The Festival of Ceramics is not all about exihibiting, watching and buying pottery – it is also a big celebration of centuries-old culture and tradition. The trade fair and exhibitions were accompanied by numerous additional events, including the traditional Bolesławiec Antiquities Market.
The arriving tourists also had a free entry to Museum of Ceramics, where one can learn the full breadth of the region’s history and traditions – not just ceramics-related.
There was no shortage of good music, either. Although the pandemic-related restrictions necessitated a different form of concerts, the organizers managed to provide a safe yet satisfactory way to listen to high quality jazz music. Deserving special attention was Patrycjusz Gruszecki’s quartet and their phenomenal, highly energetic concert.

8th. Festival Wschody
WSCHODY Festival 2019
The 8th edition of the Wschody Festival took place at the 12th-14th April in Lublin.
First day of this event started as a women’s power. On the stage we could hear Wera Kijetski – last year’s winner of the Artistic Song Contest and Karolina Czarnecka as a main star of this day.
On the Saturday we could saw an energetic bomb at the music performance by The Freeborn Brothers. This band took us for a music trip with american folk, punk rock and lots of other music ways. The audience could dance, dance and dance!
The last day of the Wschody Festival started – as a first day – by Wera Kijetski’s song. Then we heard and met the laureates of this year’s edition of Artistic Song Contest. That’s Pasażer band (first place) and Eddie/Hai (Grand Prix). Next on the stage we could saw Mikromusic band with their new music project called “Mikromusic z Dolnej Półki”. Well-known songs in another ways charmed all the audience in the Meeting of Cultures so it should not be surprising that the band played as an encore and descended from the stage with a standing ovations!
