The exhibition opened in the foyer of the Filharmonia Podkarpacka named after Artur Malawski. The director, Marta Wierzbieniec, said photographs record atmosphere and change.

Why this matters to expats

This festival offers a rare chance to experience Polish cultural continuity. Moreover, it shows how regional festivals attract national and international stars. In addition, visiting offers a way to meet locals and practice Polish. However, note that concerts can sell out. Therefore, buy tickets in advance. The festival centres events in historic Łańcut and in Rzeszów venues. Consequently, you can combine a short trip from Rzeszów city centre to Łańcut castle for a full cultural day.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: If you live in Poland long term, register practical matters early. For example, NFZ (the public health insurer) and ZUS (social security) handle healthcare and benefits. In addition, you do not need a PESEL (national ID number) to buy festival tickets. However, keep your ID with you at events. Moreover, Polish stewards can issue a mandat (on-the-spot fine) for rule breaches, so follow venue rules. Finally, Rzeszów-Jasionka airport (RZE) sits a short drive from Łańcut, and trains and buses connect the two towns.
