  
Short Story
Pol’and’Rock Festival is one of the biggest open-air festivals in Europe. The name had been changed in March 2018 from Przystanek Woodstock (Woodstock Station). Festival was inspired by original Woodstock from USA, but this one takes place in Kostrzyn nad Odra, in Poland. And good news… It’s ticket free! That’s why in Kostrzyn are about 700.000 people every year!
Safety first
People during Pol’and’Rock are being protected by Pokojowy Patrol. There is a huge group of volunteers, who are well trained. They are wearing a red, blue, black or yellow t-shirts – depending on the positions. For example blue t-shirt is for police, red - paramedics, yellow - team leaders and black one is for body guards. They come here every year from all over the world. It’s amazing, everyone can feel safe here – even kids! Parents always give their children special bracelets with a phone number and full address. What's more, their little ears are protected by special headphones.
