Piknik Country and Folk in Mragowo has run continuously since 1982, when founder Korneliusz Pacuda coined the term piknik country, and now fills a purpose-built lakeside amphitheater on Lake Czos with cowboy hats, western wear, and country music acts from across Poland and abroad each summer.
Poland's largest country music festival did not start in Mragowo at all.
Billed as Poland's oldest and largest country music festival and one of the biggest in Europe, the event moved from its original 1982 home in Jelenia Gora and Karpacz to permanent lakeside grounds in Mragowo in 1983, where the amphitheater now seats 5,280 and gained one of Poland's largest membrane roof structures in 2024
The walkway leading to the venue, Jaszczurcza Gora street, turns into a vendor alley of cowboy boots, western clothing, and trinkets during festival week, and daily event newspapers have run under the names Mrongoville Gazette and Country Express, giving the whole town a temporary Wild West identity each summer
The tradition of dressing in cowboy boots
and western wear along the festival's vendor walkway has become such a fixture that the street itself functions as an informal costume market
while the festival's daily printed newspapers
running under playful names like Mrongoville Gazette
keep a homemade
small-town character alive despite the event's large scale
