Juvenalia – what is it all about?
Juvenalia is an annual festival for all students. Universities in Poland organize concerts, events, and gatherings. Individual departments can also celebrate their own days. Famous artists come to the concerts. Student governments are responsible for organizing the juvenalia, but university authorities also get involved. The juvenalia last throughout May, making this month a great student festival. Students from different universities visit the concerts of others because during the juvenalia, everyone comes together into one big student family.
Who can attend the jubilee?
Anyone who is willing to come to the concerts is welcome. Not only students are welcome. Some concerts are free, and for some you have to buy a ticket. The concerts are held outdoors, and most often alcohol and food are sold at the event. Before entering the concerts, there are usually long lines, so it’s worth being there early. This is the perfect opportunity to see your favorite artists live. The concerts end after midnight, but due to the warm May nights, students don’t end the celebration at the juwenalia.
Is it possible to attend the jubilee without an ELS card?
Juvenalia is a festival for students, but anyone can easily celebrate it together with them. A student ID is not required; it can only entitle you to discounts when buying tickets or in bars within the student towns during concerts. However, if after or during the juvenalia someone wants to feel like a student, they can buy ELS stickers as part of their collection.
