What is Polish Lisbon?
„Polish Lisbon” is a Polish project of concerts and exhibitions as part of the Youth Festival at WYD at Parque de Jogos 1º de Maio in Lisbon. We will present both rap concerts and orchestral concerts, as well as multimedia shows and other performances. Not only Polish groups will be involved. Surely everyone will find something for themselves. We invite young people of all nations to celebrate faith together! In an exhibition tent you can also get to know Poland better, meet our fantastic volunteers and... even take a free hearing test!
We hope that this will be a place where all groups will have the opportunity to meet, pray together and where good and lasting relationships will be established between us.
