Przystanek Woodstock is the biggest open-air festival in Europe–an annual free rock music festival in Poland, inspired by and named for the Woodstock Festival, that has taken place since 1995. The festival’s motto is “Love, Friendship, and Music”. It is organized by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity foundation as a way of thanking its volunteers. Generally a weekend-long event, its two stages are in continuous use from early afternoon to dawn, featuring performances by around 30 bands every year. Along with the concerts on two stages there are many other events organized during the festival – like the Academy Of The Finest Arts which is a place where young people meet with well-known politicians, artists, journalists, musicians, actors and religious leaders.
