WARSAWESOME:
WEEKEND IN WARSAW
JUNE 4 – 6
The June long weekend is the time to spend outdoors. Bike trips, walks in a forest, chilling in parks, or even leaving the city for a couple of days constitute the annual routine. We’ve cooked up a list of events that will spruce up these lazy warm days – from parties, through food festivals, to a hot air balloon show. Let the “czerwcówka” begin!
If you would like to receive our weekend guide by email every week, please enter your email address below. Delivery every Thursday.
1) Parties
Warm June weather definitely facilitates partying. Every weekend clubs located in the center and along the Vistula try to top each other and we are the beneficiaries of that competition. The following events look particularly cool.
- The agenda of the 5th Birthday Festival of Grunt i Woda is rich with partying options for both kids and adults. The children’s zone has been expanded, special menus prepared, and family workshops planned. In the evenings, the place will turn into an outdoor club with DJ Explota (straight from Cuba), DJ Morowy, and DJ WHC fueling the beats. To spice up the parties, the organizers will invite us to special contests with various prizes to win.
When: from Thursday, June 3, to Sunday, June 6
