The sky over Giżycko will ignite! Wind Festival 2025 – a guide to the most spectacular show of the summer.
Imagine a warm August evening. You are standing on the City Beach in Giżycko, and the surface of Lake Niegocin reflects the fading light of the day. Suddenly, this calm is broken by the roar of an engine. The sky, which until now belonged to the stars, becomes the stage for the most spectacular show the Masurian Lakes have ever seen. On August 23, the Wind Festival returns, and we, Hotel Wodnik, as its proud partners, are thrilled to invite you to this incredible show!
Four elements, one stage: What awaits you on August 23?
The Wind Festival is much more than ordinary air shows. It is an event that masterfully combines the power of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. The stage is the surface of Lake Niegocin, with the endless Masurian sky as the backdrop. Get ready for a show that you will feel with your whole body! The event will start at 17:45 on August 23 at the City Beach. Remember, entry is free, but the emotions are priceless!
Sky Artists you must see!
This year's program is a gallery of true masters, each telling a different, thrilling story in the sky. Who will we see?
Adrenaline Masters: Artur Kielak and Norbert Kasperek - Get ready for a display of strength and precision that will freeze your blood. Artur Kielak, one of the best aerobatic pilots in Europe, in his GameBird GB1 machine will show what it means to fly on the edge of possibilities. Right beside him, Norbert Kasperek will present maneuvers that will stay in your memory for a long time. This is not just flying; it's a dance with g-forces!
Sky Ballet: The duo from the Warsaw Aeroclub - You will see two Polish-made Aero AT3 planes, piloted by Hubert Massalski and Radek Izdebski, elevating formation flying to a completely new level. Fast passes, difficult figures, and spectacular smoke trails – this will be a true aerial choreography.
When night falls... Magic of lights and fire! - This is the moment everyone is waiting for. First, Paweł "Lojak" Kozarzewski, world champion in paramotoring, will dance in the sky with light, leaving colorful smoke trails behind. Immediately after him, the sky will be illuminated by the group Airborne Pyrotechnics – English pilots in motor gliders combining acrobatics with breathtaking pyrotechnics. This will be pure magic.
And for dessert... The Flying Pirate Ship! This has never happened before! Over Lake Niegocin, a monster-sized balloon shaped like a pirate ship will rise. Yes, you read that right – a ship that will fly instead of sail!
