Gdynia will welcome summer with a big city celebration — Cudawianki 2026. On June 27, a festival will unfold on the waterfront, where the daytime zone with workshops, wreaths, ecological and family activities will smoothly transition into evening concerts on the beach.
The festival has a history. Nineteen years ago, singer Maria Peszek opened the first Cudawianki festival — and laid the foundation for a city tradition. In the year of the city’s 100th anniversary, born from the sea and dreams, Cudawianki returns in full scale: quality music combines with education and entertainment for all ages.
