Castle Party 2022

 

Castle Party, the most significant alternative event in Poland, is the one you’d like to visit at least once. Located in beautiful surroundings of the nearby hills, the castle hosts the festival every year in July. The small, quiet town Bolkow changes into a Gothic venue and for four summer days, the overwhelming black colour takes over.

I must admit it was a bit surreal to participate in the event with no masks on, no restrictions, no omnipresent smell of sanitizing liquids, and no social distance. As a matter of fact, it was one of the first mass events I attended to experience it fully and with no limits whatsoever, and it felt great! Seeing the masses of fancy-clad people dancing, chatting, drinking beer, and enjoying themselves was as pleasant as liberating.
