A new literary festival, ‘The City with a River,’ focusing on Ukrainian-Polish dialogue, will take place in the Polish border town of Przemyśl on 14-17 August.

The Gaze reports on this with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine.

The ministry noted that the event aims to unite two cultures through literature, symbolically using the San River as a bridge between people, experiences and views.

"The leading idea of the festival is the border in all senses of the word. It is a place of collision, transition, edge, a place of transit. The border gives us many different opportunities. So during the festival, we want to think about how identity, associated with the border, affects us," said the festival director, member of the board of the Association of Ukrainians in Poland, Kateryna Komar-Matsynska.

The event will be attended by Polish poet, prose writer and playwright Andrzej Stasiuk, Polish poet, photographer and scientist Małgorzata Lebda, Ukrainian writers Andriy Lyubka, Tamara Gorikha-Zernya, Petro Yatsenko, Anastasia Levkova and others.

The City with a River festival will feature concerts, performances, yoga on the San River, and bicycle tours.

The full festival programme is available at the link.

On Ukraine's Independence Day, 24 August, the tenth anniversary International Arts Festival ‘Velvet Season at the Odessa Opera – 2025’ will open and run until 14 September.
