Gremi Borsch Fest is a unique event that brings together Ukrainians and all lovers of national cuisine in Poland. Inspired by the cultural traditions of Ukraine, the festival provides a unique opportunity to enjoy not only delicious food, but also to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of your native country.

Gremi Borsch Fest: what is it?

The main dish of the festival is borscht, a symbol of Ukrainian cuisine that has gathered many fans. However, the treats do not end there. Guests will also be treated to varenyky, nalysnyky, salo, homemade baked goods, kvass and other culinary delights that will create a real feast for all lovers of Ukrainian cuisine.

In addition to gastronomic delights, Gremi Borsch Fest will also be a venue for live music. Ukrainian artists will perform here, giving the audience unforgettable emotions. It is important to note that the festival is aimed not only at an adult audience, but also at children, for whom a separate area with master classes and entertainment will be prepared.

What makes this festival special is its charitable focus. All proceeds from the event will go to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Gremi Personal and Gremi Foundation, the organisers of the event, have announced that all funds will be used to purchase tactical medicine, drones, communication equipment and other necessary materials for those defending Ukraine.

Last year's festival raised a record 1,347,167 zlotys and brought together over 68,500 people. This confirms how important and popular this festival is among Ukrainians and everyone who wants to support Ukraine during this difficult period.
