On January 25, 2026, Wrocław's Market Square will once again become one of the hottest spots on the map of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. During the 34th Grand Finale, the city will be vibrant with concerts, accompanying events, and the involvement of thousands of volunteers. This year's fundraising goal is to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal diseases in the youngest patients.
LOGO WROCŁAWSKIEGO FINAŁU WOŚP
Wrocław has supported Jurek Owsiak's initiative with great enthusiasm since its inception. It's a city where orchestral concerts have become a beautiful tradition. The first major events in Wrocław's Market Square took place in 1993, the Foundation's first year of existence. Since then, city officials and residents have risen to the occasion every year, supporting both the organizers and the volunteers.
Thanks to long-standing collaboration with the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP), the Wrocław stage not only provides residents with incredible performances but, above all, mobilizes generous support. Eleven charity groups operate in the city, coordinating volunteer activities and organizing local attractions. Detailed information about the activities of individual charity groups can be found on their social media channels.
What awaits us on January 25, 2026?
The Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity in Wrocław is an event eagerly awaited by everyone – residents and visitors from across the country. This year, the Wrocław Market Square will traditionally be the center of events, filled with music, color, and ubiquitous joy.
On the day of the 34th Finale, the heart of the city will be transformed into a true center of attraction, offering more than just musical excitement. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet interesting personalities who will share their knowledge and experience.
Additionally, numerous exhibitor booths will be located on the Market Square. Visitors will be able to learn about the activities of local organizations, see demonstrations by emergency services, participate in interactive games, and sample delicacies from food trucks. It's the perfect place to spend the day in an atmosphere of solidarity and positive energy.
The following will perform on stage:
THE TEAM IS AWESOME
The children's group Rewelacja has been performing with us for years! They're a group of talented children united by their love of music. Their performances are the best proof that children's creativity, commitment, and talent can create something truly exceptional on stage.
MARCUS ARENT
One of the most authentic representatives of the Lower Silesian rock scene, the band has cultivated the sound of classic Polish guitar music for over three decades, proving that its honest message and rock energy never lose their relevance. The band has been active continuously since 1993, and since 2017, it has performed with its strongest, five-piece lineup. Their music is melodic rock, with expressive riffs and reflective lyrics in Polish, resonating with fans of bands like IRA, Perfect, and Lady Pank. The band has achieved numerous successes, including awards in Radio Wrocław's "Musical Battle."
BNDK
A duo that arose naturally – without calculation or a rigid image plan. They are formed by Jan Benedek (guitarist, composer, and co-creator of the '90s sound of T.Love ) and his son, Gabor Benedek. They represent two generations approaching music differently: through the prism of rock tradition and modern production and emotion. Their sound is modern rock with retro elements and subtle pop influences. It's a conscious continuation of the songwriting approach, where the riff, lyrics, and emotion are as important as the contemporary sound.
WOMEN HAVE A VOICE! WROCLOVE DIVAS FOR WOŚP
A unique Wrocław-based project that grew out of the Stary Klasztor club. This concert is filled with powerful, feminine energy: over 20 Wrocław vocalists known from shows like The Voice of Poland, Szansa na Sukces, and Must Be The Music will gather on one stage. The common denominator is the repertoire – the biggest global hits in new arrangements, performed with a "girl power" approach. The project was created with the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity in mind and returns annually as part of the finale tradition.
They will sing:
NIKOLA WARDA, MONIKA WIŚNIOWSKA-BASEL, ANIA SZUL
MALWINA RABENDA-DUSZYŃSKA, OLA TUROŃ, ULA ISSEL, ANGELIKA KLIMEK, MAJA ŚWIDERSKA, NATALIA PODWIN, KARINA RESKE-CHOJNACKA, MARTA CYNK MIKOŁAJEWSKA, NATALIA JUSZCZYSZYN, ADRIANNA GÓRKA, RAFAELA MARUSKA.
BAKSHISH
A legend of Polish reggae! Four decades of history, a powerful roots-dub pulse, positive energy, and a power that connects generations. The group's hallmarks are dub depth, powerful bass, and Jarex's instantly recognizable vocals. Lyrics about unity, freedom, and spirituality strike straight to the heart. Bakshish doesn't chase trends—he anticipates them. They have performed hundreds of concerts across Europe and collaborated with icons of the global scene (including Michael Rose and Daddy Freddy). Their performances are a blend of trance, truth, and organic music that will transform the Market Square into a single, pulsating community.
MARIUSZ DZIUBEK WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE ARTISTIC GROUP OF THE POLISH ARMY AND GUESTS
One of the highlights of the program will be a performance by Mariusz Dziubek with his ensemble, which has performed at some of Poland's most important artistic events. Under the maestro's direction, the orchestra will present a project combining symphonic sound with the energy of popular music. Special guests KAMIL BEDNAREK, MARIA SADOWSKA, ADRIAN ŁABANOWSKI, MARTA KOŁODZIEJCZYK (MARTELLA), and MICHAŁ BOBER will also appear on stage. Special arrangements will make this one of the most spectacular moments of the finale.
The highlight of the evening will be the traditional Light to Heaven, which will illuminate the sky over Wrocław at 8:00 p.m.
The 34th Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is, above all, a chance to help those in need. Wrocław will once again prove its great heart. We encourage you to support the fundraiser: drop a donation in the collection box, bid, or simply join us. Every gesture counts!
