Summary of the Year 2025

23.12.2025

What a year it was! 2025 will be remembered in the history of Estrada Rzeszowska as a time of intense work, meetings with you, and shared cultural experiences!

We have a number of festival activities and city events behind us, including: the 671st anniversary of the city of Rzeszów's founding, the 33rd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, our flagship events such as the Paniaga Festival, which this year we combined with the Rzeszów May Day, a birthday toast for Tomasz Stańko, the 20th anniversary of Rock Night, Rzeszów Breakout Days, and the Carpathians on a Fork, featuring our guest of honor, Robert Makłowicz.

The 15th edition of the European Stadium of Culture, accompanied by the slogan "Kind to Pact," was particularly memorable! This year, we focused on artistic projects that strengthen bonds, build partnerships, and collaborations, which resulted in collaborations with fantastic artists and cultural organizers from across Poland.

In parallel, together with Rzeszowskie Piwnice and the Rzeszowskie Incubator Kultury, we developed workshops, exhibitions, and educational activities – both cultural and historical. We continued projects such as Oko na miasto (Eye on the City), Czas sztuki (Time of Art), and Rzeszowskie Huncwoty (Rzeszowskie Huncwoty), and created new series of meetings with you, namely Urban Break and Rzeka Historii (Rzeka Historii), thanks to which we got to know our city (and, of course, you – our audience) even better. This year, we also held two installments of the "Moja Pierwszy Galeria" (My First Gallery) project and the second edition of the "Miasto:Twórca" (City: Creator) project – with the theme "What is being created?"

You could also meet us at events such as the Podkarpacie Culture Congress in November and the Unity Concert in May. Our booth was also featured at the Kaleidoscope Traveler. As part of the EU Industry Days and Govtech4Europe projects, we organized more than a dozen small-scale cultural events—including a concert by the band RYSY in the castle moat and a concert by Brassers in front of the Art Exhibitions Office.

The entire year 2025 showed us that culture is, above all, about collaboration and action. Thank you for being with us! We can't wait to see what 2026 brings—another 365 days of discovering, creating, and experiencing culture together.
