Festivals and Concerts in Summer 2026 – Cultural Attractions Around Masuria

Mazury Hip Hop Festival 2026 – Reborn

The iconic festival returns under a new name: Mazury Hip Hop Festiwal 2026 Reborn will take place on July 16–18, 2026 in Giżycko. It's a new chapter for one of the biggest hip-hop festivals in Poland. Announced artists include Malik Montana, PRO8L3M, Young Igi, Słoń and many others.

Combining the festival with a cruise around Masuria is an idea thousands of participants have come to love – Giżycko has both excellent marinas and outstanding festival infrastructure. The marina in the centre of Giżycko is just a dozen or so minutes' walk from the main stage.

45th International Country & Folk Picnic Festival – Mrągowo

Mrągowo is the festival capital of Masuria, and the Country & Folk Picnic is its flagship event. The 45th edition takes place on July 24–25, 2026 in the amphitheatre on Lake Czos – one of the most beautiful natural arenas in Poland. The festival draws audiences from all over the country and is a great complement to a weekly cruise – Mrągowo lies right on the Great Masurian Lakes trail.
