"Good Energy" Festival in Bielsko-Biała18 July 2013 | 12h01 | 222 visits This year’s 3rd edition of the “Beskid Good Energy” Festival, dedicated to energy conservation in everyday life, once again attracted thousands of Bielsko-Biała residents.
As for previous editions of the festival, the central and symbolic point of the programme has been the "Bielsko-Biala Balloon Release" where 300 balloons flew in the air with an eco-friendly message. Balloons carry the message far and sometimes even abroad: the finders return them to the Town Hall in Bielsko-Biała and then receive gifts such as a unique LCD room thermometer. Thus the idea of the festival is not only a local initiative but also European! The festival ended with a concert by the Recycling Band who uses instruments made by themselves – bottle-violin, bottle-bass or garbage-drums – and drew attention on waste management. Such innovative activities of the city, resulting in the organisation of the festival, have been repeatedly rewarded, even internationally. The huge turnout at the festival showed that people need this type of action, which consists not only of entertainment, but also of education through play, so that energy matters are becoming closer to them. The festival will surely return next year! More about the 1st edition and the 2nd edition of the "Good Energy" Festival © photos City of Bielsko-Biała |
