Poland’s 2026 summer programme continued to blend music, sport and community celebrations across the country. After the July open‑air dance festival in Świdnica and senior‑oriented events in Łódź, a series of concerts and festivals unfolded in August, including the 9th Festival of Restored Music in Szczecin, The Weeknd’s headline shows in Warsaw, free concerts in Świnoujście, and the ORLEN Beach Volley Tour in the same coastal town. Regional festivals expanded the calendar: agricultural fairs (dożynki) were scheduled in Otowice (22 August), Radomyśl Wielki (16 August) and Głowaczów, featuring traditional music and crafts. Gliwice hosted a three‑day Culture Festival (7‑9 August) highlighting Silesian, Jewish and Romani heritage, while Strzelce Krajeńskie marked its 740‑year city anniversary on 30 May with Polish‑German cooperation. Music‑focused gatherings added the BLusowo blues festival in Lusowo (8 August) and a free open‑air dance night in Świnoujście. The Imperial Show water circus entertained audiences in Ostrołęka (11‑12 August). These events underscored a nationwide effort to promote regional traditions, support local artists and attract visitors throughout the summer.
