Mountain villages are famous not only for hiking trails, ski slopes, and regional taverns, where the tables are full of regional and local delicacies. Many times these towns also stand out by their unique culture! This is also the case – in Szczyrk, the most famous is the annual Beskid Culture Week.
Beskid Culture Week (BCW) is one of the largest folk events in the country and the world. Usually, more than 100 folk bands from different countries appear on it, and during the event, mountain villages are all about the music! Evening concerts take place in many places at the same time, and they are also accompanied by street processions, fairs, and art fairs. BCW is a colorful party that adds color to every summer!
