The 28th WOŚP Grand Finale in Wrocław: six stages, concerts and auctions supporting the fundraiser

The 28th WOŚP Finale’s slogan is “Wiatr w żagle” (“Wind in the sails”). On 12 January, Poland’s largest public fundraiser will take place nationwide. More than 120,000 volunteers organised into 1,700 fundraising centres, including several dozen abroad, will take to the streets. Wrocław alone will have over a thousand. They will try to raise more than the record sum from the 27th WOŚP Finale, certainly no small challenge! They will need to collect more than PLN 186,133,610.66!

6 CONCERT STAGES IN WROCŁAW

As every year, the Orchestra will play especially loudly! And, as you might expect, Wrocław’s Finale will be exceptional in every respect.

Wrocław’s 28th WOŚP Grand Finale will return to the Market Square after a break of several years. And, as we have done consistently for years, we are wholeheartedly involved in organising the event. Excellent concerts, surprising events, remarkable guests, fascinating auctions and the traditional “Policz się z cukrzycą” Backwards Run are just some of the attractions of this year’s Grand Finale, which is raising money to purchase state-of-the-art equipment to save the lives and protect the health of children needing various kinds of surgery. Across 27 Grand Finales, the Orchestra has raised and spent over PLN 1 billion to support Polish healthcare, including a record PLN 176 million last year.

Wrocław’s 28th WOŚP Finale surprises with more than its return to the Market Square. Attractions fill two stages: Scena Rynek, mainly featuring musicians, and Scena Ratusz, offering a wealth of activities for the youngest visitors and those a little older.

Outstanding artists will perform on the Main Stage in the Market Square. From noon until the Light to the Sky finale, we will enjoy brilliant performances by bands from across Poland. We will begin with the young band Mikrokosmos, whom we saw at last year’s YouWRO Students’ Festival. Funk, groove, a strong sense of rhythm and a positive message sum up these musicians. Come and see their cosmic energy take over the city centre.

Another artist to delight us is Nikola Warda, a participant in “Bitwa Na Głosy”, “Mam Talent”, “Szansa Na Sukces” and “The Voice of Poland”. She will treat us to both her beautiful voice and Maryla Rodowicz songs. Next, Wrocław project Conga Line takes over. Difficult to describe briefly, this collection of extraordinary musical personalities plays naturally with sounds and words alike. Their somewhat theatrical performance will surely remain memorable.

Immediately afterwards, we will have the chance to see an extraordinary project, Gitarowa Orkiestra Wszech Czasów. Paulina Gołębiowska, Adam Szypuła, Andrzej Stagi Stagraczyński, Mateusz Maniak-Porcaro, Johan Sebastian Berg and Marek Stingu Popów will perform some of rock’s best-known guitar songs! The Grand Finale stage will also welcome heavier sounds from Szczecin band Chorzy. Their shows always draw crowds of fans, so they could not be missing from the line-up.

No Logo will also enhance our shared time in the Market Square. Their original music, unconventional costumes and incredible energy will surely get everyone dancing! January weather makes warmth particularly welcome. Then comes rock ’n’ roll from Dr Misio, led by Arkadiusz Jakubik. They play heavier music, while Krzysztof Warga and Marcin Świetlicki’s brilliant lyrics encourage reflection. Bitamina perform at the very end.

A young, energetic band that reaches listeners with remarkable sensitivity and feeling. Although they do not seek publicity, they reach a wide audience and devoted fans. There will certainly be no dull moments in front of the stage!

The event culminates in the symbolic Światełko do Nieba at 20.00. Of course there will be no fireworks: the Great Orchestra loves and cares for animals. Wrocław's 28th WOŚP Finale will use Światełko to close the evening concerts on the Market Square stage.

As tradition dictates, Stary Klasztor also joins this great celebration. Concerts will take place in the Gothic Hall, so if you get cold outdoors, you can warm up within the monastery walls to wonderful music.

Right beside the main stage in the Market Square, you will find a smaller but equally attractive one! Outside the Town Hall, everyone will find something to enjoy, from the youngest to the oldest, for body and soul alike. It is worth heading to the Market Square that day: there will be plenty happening!
