Curatorial walkthroughs are scheduled for 6 pm on both Friday and Saturday. All of these tours begin in front of the InfoPoint and do not require prior registration. You can also join family-friendly walks (at 6 pm each day), for which you have to register in advance. All guided walks are free of charge.

FESTIVAL CLUB

This year’s festival club is located in Jelitkowo Park, at the legendary Parkowa Bistro & Dance (2 Jelitkowska St.). It will be open from 6 pm until midnight under the motto Żaden Wykrot Jaskrawy Turbot – No Pit Gaudy Turbot, a playful reinterpretation of the district’s acronym ŻWJT. The club’s eclectic programme is curated by Tymek Bryndal.

 

FOOD & DRINK

Along the route you will find several places where you can grab a bite or warm up with a hot drink. Fili Cafe (3B Gospody St.) has prepared a special hot drinks menu for the festival audience. We also recommend the bar and restaurant at Parkowa Bistro & Dance – the venue of this year’s Festival Club.
