Juwenalia Festival
May
This mobile festival – that also takes in Poznań and Lublin – includes the cream of Polish pop acts, as well as the odd international artist for a veritable Europop fest.
Baltic Rock Meeting
May-June
Ear plugs at the ready – you’ll certainly need them at this annual celebration of all things heavy metal. Metallica tribute bands, local punks and theatrical metal heads combine in this full-on music festival.
Days of the Sea
June
It would be surprising if a city with the maritime traditions of Szczecin didn’t celebrate them in style, and Days of the Sea (Dni Morza) is no disappointment thanks to its flotillas of fishing boats and free musical performances.
Street Artists Festival
July
Rarely do city authorities take a benign view of graffiti, but it would appear that Szczecin’s are the exception to the rule courtesy of this quirky summer celebration of street art and performers. Expect a friendly atmosphere and plenty to see and do in the city streets.
Boogie Brain Festival
October
A wonderful little music festival that takes place on Lasztownia Island in the Oder River, Boogie Brain Festival focuses on a range of artists from three different countries: Poland, Germany and the United Kingdom.
