WOODSTOCK Love, Friendship and Music



Did I mention that I love music? I’m happy that I can share this passion with my friends. Every summer, in August, we go to Woodstock Festival, known as a Woodstock Station that is located in Kostrzyn. It’s a ticket-free festival in Poland that is regarded as “the biggest open-air festival in Europe” because it gathers over half a million music lovers each year. It lasts three days so you need a medium-sized tent, sleeping bag and, most importantly, a lot of positive energy! The festival is organised by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity which is a non-profit and non-governmental charity organisation founded by Jerzy Owsiak. Basically, the festival is dedicated to all the volunteers that take part in The Grand Orchestra of Christmas Charity events over the following year. There are two big stages and a lot of interesting events and social activities like The Academy Of The Finest Arts where you can meet musicians, actors, journalists, politicians and many others. It’s a great opportunity to ask them any question you might have. What makes the Woodstock Festival very special is its motto “"Love, Friendship, and Music". You can feel it during the whole festival since all people are very nice and friendly with positive attitude who are always ready to help you. I met a lot of wonderful people there! I can’t wait to dance and sing with all of them this summer!
