End of summer in musical greenery
At the end of the summer, the City of Wroclaw and the ‘SO WHAT?’ Foundation invite you to a series of seven unique concerts. Wroclaw's green squares and parks will be filled with the sounds of well-known and popular hits by big stars. From 24th August to 14th September, personalities from the Wroclaw music scene will sing for us.
Renata Granowska, Deputy Mayor of Wroclaw: ‘Together with Wroclaw artists, we invite you to celebrate summer to the rhythm of good music, rediscover the city's green spaces and contribute to the unique atmosphere of outdoor concerts. The range of performances is very diverse – from classic jazz evergreens, through hot southern samba or bossa nova rhythms, to the great hits of Polish and foreign pop music.
All concerts are free of charge and start at 6 p.m.
