Ostróda Reggae Festival

The Ostróda Reggae Festival takes place every summer in the town of Ostróda, Poland, at the municipal stadium and amphitheatre. Launched in 2001 out of a local music contest from the 1980s, it has grown into the country's largest reggae gathering and something of a national symbol for the genre. Alongside the concerts, visitors find workshops, film screenings, dance classes and activities for children, all carried by reggae's easygoing, communal spirit.
