Freedom Parade - Parada Wolności

Parada Wolności (Freedom Parade), one of Poland's biggest electronic music events, is back for its fifth edition since its 2022 return; taking place across three days (August 28–30, 2026) in Łódź. Best part? It's completely free to attend.

Originally inspired by Berlin's Love Parade, the event first launched in 1997 as a celebration of freedom, tolerance, and community through electronic music. After a 20-year hiatus, it came back in 2022 and has been growing ever since — pulling in thousands of fans from across Poland and beyond, and bridging the gap between OG ravers and the new generation.

Friday kicks things off with stages set up along Piotrkowska Street, the city's iconic main drag — turning it into one giant festival zone right in the heart of Łódź. Saturday is the main event. A stacked Main Stage at Freedom Square (Plac Wolności) hosts world-class electronic acts, while the trademark music platforms on trucks roll through the streets, each one run by a top Polish collective. The parade winds through the city center and finishes at EC1 for a massive closing moment. Sunday wraps things up with a chilled-out, housey fiesta in a more intimate setting. More details on that coming soon.
