Cosplayers will take over the Lubomierz and the Soul Monastery in Nowogrodź
Near Bolesławiec and Lubomierz, Pixelmania 2k24, a cosplayer rally will conviene from August 2-4, 2024.
Cosplayers have been coming to Lubomierz and its surroundings for years. Using numerous outdoors in our region, such as the Soul Monastery in Nowogrodziec, Pearl of Żeliszów, the Japanese Garden or Alpak Breeding in Proszówka, take part in professional photo sessions. Cosplayers then dress up in costumes of various characters from movies, fairy tales, games or books and animations.
Pixelmania 2k24 provides an opportunity to see these characters with your own eyes, especially in Lubomierz. Photos taken during Pixelania by professional photographers from different parts of the world are not only a souvenir and valuable experience for the participants of the event, but also serve to promote our region.
The culminating moment of Pixemania will be the meeting of all cosplayers on the market in Lubomierz, which will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, at 10:30 a.m.
Weekend events in Torun
Friday, August 2, 2024, 8:00 p.m., VHS concert
VHS balances on the border of many genres, trying to escape classification and avoid labeling their music. Some say you can look for them around the intersection of electro pop and indie rock. They were there yesterday, but they don't know where they'll be tomorrow. Often, in their musical journeys they venture in the 90s and even 80’s, and although the sentiment towards these times is rather the domain of their parents’ generation, they themselves find very well in this climate. They try to find a compromise between the classic inspirations of those years and the new and fresh. Young, capable, a hit, slightly sentimental, with manifestations of opposition-rebel disorders, followers of colored rotation and practitioners of breaking conventions.
