The Multi Art Festival always attracts a large audience for its events, offering an interesting and free artistic, social, and cultural program to the citizens of Kalisz. Each year the program is based on a few permanent mainstays, such as a big music concert (with different artist each year, of course), a silent disco (with different DJs each year) or a boat trip on the Prosna River (with a different theme each time). The organizer of the festival, Stowarzyszenie Multi.Art, also introduces some brand new features every year. This year’s events include the Kaliski Chór Narzekań with Paweł Szamburski or the artistic intervention Podróże (nie)możliwe z ADECON. As every year, the program is also filled with a wide range of workshops for children and adults - admission is free, but it is necessary to sign up in advance.

Admission to all events in the program of the 17th Multi Art Festival is free. For some of them (marked in the program), it is required to register by email: stowmultiart@gmail.com. Most of the events will take place on the Rozmarek Historical Square (Skwer Historyczny Rozmarek) in the very heart of the city.

The 17th Multi Art Festival is organized with the financial support from the budget of the City of Kalisz through the patronage of culture. The sponsor of the 17th Multi Art Festival is ADECON, a shipping and freight forwarding company specializing in comprehensive multimodal transportation. The 17th Multi Art Festival is also supported by JestemTu - personal monitoring and Klinika Stomatologii Ptak.
