It’s the 13th time we conclude and wrap up the cultural year in Pomerania by presenting the Metropolis is Okey art festival. The variety of events that will take place 27-30 December include music, literature and theatre, although many of the shows or workshops cannot be assigned to the one single genre. Similarily to the previous editions, be ready to experience colorful patchwork of moods, impressions, rythms and intriguing artists. Please note that there will be events dedicated to children.
This year - and that’s new! – the festival will extend its range to the new parts of Trojmiasto metropolis. The show will take place not only in Gdansk, but also in neighboring towns of Żukowo, Kolbudy, Pruszcz Gdański and Wejherowo.
