The Sea Festival kicks off in Gdynia — ten days of events uniting maritime traditions, sailing sports, concerts, and family programs. The festival takes place throughout the city: in the port, on the water, and across the city.
This festival is not only for the residents but also for everyone connected to the sea: sailors, mariners, port workers, representatives of shipbuilding, and marine science. These people have shaped the character of the city for generations. Gdynia has grown thanks to the sea, and the Sea Festival emphasizes this connection, reminding us of the city's role in Poland's maritime economy
