The end of July is the perfect time to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and catch your breath in the mountains. And if you are looking for an opportunity to combine outdoor relaxation with a unique event — Zieleniec has a great offer for you.
From 26 to 27 July 2025, we will host a unique two-day picnic, which combines a long tradition of indulgence with concerts, animations for children and a unique atmosphere of the mountain summer. The star of this year's edition will be LIMBOSKI, who will play a concert promoting his latest album “Wheloryb”.
Tradition and spirituality in a unique setting
On Saturday evening 26 July the participants of the event will take part in an unusual procession with the fire of St. Anne, which will pass from the church in Zieleniec to the Gryglówka railway. There (also thanks to the free entrance by cable car), all those who wish to go to the solemn Holy Mass organized on the upper platform of the Winterpol cable car, celebrated by Father Patrick of St. Anne's Monastery. It is a spiritual experience that takes on even more power in a mountainous, natural setting and with the glow of the flames along the trail.
Evening with music and bonfire — Projekt Volodya na stenie
Right after the Mass, already in the clearing near the church of St. Anne, a Saturday picnic will begin. In addition to delicious food and family atmosphere, the evening will end with a concert by Projekt Volodya — a group that combines sung poetry with energetic arrangements with masterful lightness. It is the perfect proposal for a quiet, reflective and musical end of the day — with a view of the surrounding mountains, by the fire and among friendly people.
Sunday with LIMBOSKI
The culmination of the event will be a Sunday concert by Limboski — an artist who returned to Poland with new energy and material after years of stay in Berlin. His latest album “Wheloryb”, released by the Polish Radio Music Agency, is a breath of freshness on the Polish music scene — a mix of rockandroll, surf-rock sounds and unobvious improvisations.
Limboski will perform with the full line-up of the team:
- Michał Limboski — vocals, guitars, piano
- Jacek Cichocki — organ and synthesizers (in the style of Ray Manzarek from The Doors)
- Rafał “Rory” Zać — drums
Live you will hear, among others, the hit “Freedom”, which is taking the charts by storm, as well as many new compositions that will surely warm the audience of Zielenia.
Family picnic, animations and mountains in the background
In addition to the Limboski concert and numerous spiritual attractions, the participants will be waiting for a full offer for the whole family. Animation zone, inflatables for children, a show of wrestlers from Kudowa Zdroj, a football match organized by Pogoń Duszniki — Zdroj, concerts of local bands — all this in the area near the Mieszko slopes, with a beautiful panorama of the Orlice and Bystrzyckie Mountains.
However, if you are wondering whether it is worth spending the whole weekend in Zieleniec — the answer is definitely yes! There are still vacancies available in guesthouses, apartments and hotelswhich are located in the immediate vicinity of the event. You don't have to hurry and come back in the evening — you can book a stay and soak up the atmosphere of the summer Zieleniec in the best possible way for two (or even more) days.
It is worth coming on Friday — walk along the trails, enjoy the silence of the mountains and catch a breath. And then let yourself be carried away by the magic of fire, music and community, which in Zieleniec always attracts good people.
