Description

Live highlander band, bonfire, regional buffet and a whole lot of dancing – this evening gives your group the full Zakopane experience in one go. Surrounded by mountains, you’ll enjoy traditional music, hearty food and góralskie jokes that keep everyone laughing all night.

During the evening, a live highlander band plays the biggest regional hits, leads simple dances and teaches your group how to sing along.

The evening can be organised all year round. In winter it has a more snowy, bonfire-style setting, in summer it’s more open-air and garden-style, depending on the venue and weather.
