#WGDYNI — great sound that started with the sea.…
Welcome to Gdynia — a city celebrating its 100th birthday this year!
It’s hard to imagine a better time to feel its rhythm than right now — during the Open’er Festival.
You’ve come here for the music, the thrills and the experiences that linger long after the final concert. Gdynia knows this feeling all too well. For a hundred years, it has attracted people open to the world, new sounds, ideas and the energy that flows straight from the sea.
It was here that a city was born from dreams, courage and vision. A city which grew from a fishing settlement into a symbol of freedom, modernity and constant progress. Alongside the builders came sailors from all corners of the world, bringing with them their stories, culture and flavours. Thanks to them from the very beginning Gdynia has been a meeting place — diverse, vibrant and always open.
Today, you can feel that same energy on the street, beaches and concert stages.
Amidst the festival excitement, it’s worth immersing yourself in Gdynia even further.
Feel the sea breeze as you stroll along the Seaside Boulevard. See the sailing ships at Kościuszko Square and the modernist buildings resembling transatlantic liners ready to set sail. At dawn or after night-time concerts, find a moment to take a breather on the beach at Babie Doły — where the city meets the open sea.
If you’re looking for a place to slow down, choose Orłowo. The wooden pier, the cliff and the sound of the waves remind you that nature here is never just a backdrop — it’s part of the experience. Just like the forests that surround the city and mean that in Gdynia you can find a moment’s peace just a few minutes from the centre.
For a hundred years, Gdynia has lived life on its own terms — boldly, close to its people and the sea.
In this anniversary year, it invites you to become part of this story. It’s not just about the concert – it’s about a moment that will stay with you for a long time. Let’s meet at Gdynia’s birthday!
