Now in its third year, the event is being hosted with the aim of integrating with artists from Eastern Partnership countries.
This summer, Rzeszów, Lublin and Białystok are pooling cultural forces with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
The Festival starts on June 25 in Rzeszów, continues on July 8 in Lublin and winds up at the end of August in Białystok. Last year’s edition featured some 1,100 artists and attracted some 100, 000 viewers.
