Łódź, a city with a rich industrial and cultural history, will soon celebrate its 602nd anniversary. To mark the occasion, the Municipal Arena of Culture and Sports has organized a five-day series of events that will allow residents and tourists alike to experience the diversity and energy that our city exudes. From July 23 to 27, 2025, attractions are planned in front of and around the Atlas Arena for sports enthusiasts, families with children, and fans of cars and good movies alike.
The FIVB Women’s Volleyball Nations League Finals kick off this Wednesday, July 23, featuring the world’s best female volleyball players. For five days, Atlas Arena will be a venue brimming with sporting excitement, and fans will have the opportunity to enjoy competition at the highest level.
Friday, July 25, is the day when a unique movie screening will take place under Atlas Arena. The evening attraction will be Moto Polowka powered by Zimny Auto - a car cinema that will show the cult romantic comedy You've Got the Message just after sunset. Audiences will sit in cars to experience the magic of the film under the stars, without having to leave the comfort of their seats.
Saturday, July 26 is in turn a celebration of motorcyclists and families: the Moto Picnic at the Moto Arena from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. An exhibition of vintage and modern motorcycles awaits participants.
Łódź’s birthday celebrations will conclude on Sunday, July 27, with morning matches featuring young talents at the 2015 Age Group Soccer Tournament at the Władysław Król Municipal Stadium, where teams from clubs such as Widzew, ŁKS, and PSV will compete for victory in the spirit of fair play. On the same day, MAKiS will open the doors of the ŁKS and Widzew stadiums to those who want to get a behind-the-scenes look at the athletes’ work: free tours of the locker rooms, the tunnel, and the field—are a unique opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes of sporting competitions (sign up at lks_zwiedzanie@makis.pl and widzew_zwiedzanie@makis.pl).
