Gmina Konopiska is a rural gmina (administrative district) in Częstochowa County in southern Poland and the location for Konopiska Festival 2022, where you can take part in the Polish Folk Group ‘’Baciary’’ concert! The festival is also known as ‘’Sobótka’’.
Pop, rock, and a bit of disco, and a great feast with a characteristic Polish highlander dialect, hey! Interesting combinations and this original approach to dance music are one of the factors that made the Polish Folk Group ‘’Baciary’’ successful.

Konopiska Festival 2022 will take place from June 18th to June 19th. The location of the concert has been not confirmed yet, but the area nearby Pająk Stadium is the most probable one.
The schedule of other entertainment in this year’s edition is still not confirmed, however, the previous festivals included among others the traditional competition for the best wreath made of flowers and herbs.
Participants also released the wreaths into the water and looked for a fern flower.
- According to the myth, this flower blooms for a very short time on the eve of the summer solstice (celebrated on June 21 or sometimes July 7). It brings fortune to the person who finds it. In some tales, it allows animal speech understanding. It is closely guarded by evil spirits and its picker can have earthly riches, which have never benefited anyone, so some leave it alone.
