WARSAWESOME:
WEEKEND IN WARSAW
JUNE 11 – 13
A hot weekend is ahead of us! We want to go for a party on Friday, find our fav EURO 2020 zone at the weekend, and drink some exquisite craft beers at festivals. If there’s enough time we would also appreciate some outdoor exhibitions and yoga practice. It all seems more than doable with the selection of events we’ve prepared for you.
If you would like to receive our weekend guide by email every week, please enter your email address below. Delivery every Thursday.
1) Parties
Finding a decent party place is no biggie in Warsaw during spring and summer. Just head out in the direction of the Vistula and you can be sure to track down the sounds and vibes that would match your mood. Yet sometimes there are events that break the clubbing routine and offer something extra. This week we are recommending:
- Warszawa Główna Opening Day Party inaugurates a new place on the city’s party map. One that merges entertainment with carefully selected music in the heart of the urban jungle.
When: Friday, June 11, from 22:00
Where: ul. Kolejowa 8/10
- During the inauguration of WAWA WAKE, we will have an opportunity for solid beach fun. There will be delicious drinks, good people, nice music, wake movies and, above all, a lot of water sports enthusiasts.
