Events in Szczecin and West Pomerania: several hundred concerts, plays, cabaret nights and screenings, from philharmonic halls to small-town cinemas.
This calendar helps in two situations: when you have a free evening in Szczecin, or when you are heading to the coast or the lake districts and want to know what is on locally. Szczecin and Koszalin together account for more than half of the listings; Kołobrzeg, Stargard and more than a dozen smaller towns make up the rest.
Pick a day in the events calendar, then narrow the results by category: music, theatre, cabaret, cinema or sport. Szczecin holds about a third of all listings, but the calendar spans the whole province, so check which town a venue is in before deciding. You can buy a ticket through the link next to each event.
The order of the filters depends on how you plan. If you are already in town and want something for the same evening, start with the day. If you are arranging a trip in advance, choose the town first and the type of event last: smaller places have only a handful of listings, or a dozen or so, and they are easy to read through in full.
Music is the largest group in the calendar, with nearly two hundred listings, or roughly four events in every ten. Concerts in Szczecin take place at very different scales, from the philharmonic hall through clubs to the intimate rooms of community arts centres. The Music category gathers them all, along with other towns in the region.
For symphonic and chamber music, go to the home of the Filharmonia im. Mieczysława Karłowicza (Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic). Its white building on Małopolska Street stands on the site of the war-damaged Konzerthaus and has two halls: a symphony hall with more than nine hundred seats and a chamber hall with just under two hundred. It is among the venues that appear most often in the calendar, so most weeks offer a choice.
Plenty of listings also come from NOWA DEKADENCJA Szczecińskie Centrum Kultury (Scena Dekadencja) and Cafe Hormon. The name of another venue, Jazzment Klub, hints at its direction, though it is worth checking who is playing on a given night. These are places for a night out without much preparation, when you make up your mind on the day.
Two community arts centres round out the list: Dom Kultury 13 Muz, Sala Kominkowa and Dom Kultury Słowianin, with a few events each. If you want something on a larger scale, look at two arenas, Enea Arena and Event Arena, which appear less often than the clubs.
More than a hundred listings are theatre, collected in the Theatre category. The main stages in the calendar are in Koszalin, one for drama and one for musicals. Productions also reach arts centres in other towns, so it always pays to narrow the list to wherever you happen to be.
Bałtycki Teatr Dramatyczny (Baltic Drama Theatre) is among the most frequent venues in the whole calendar. Koszalin's second stage is Teatr Muzyczny ADRIA (Adria Musical Theatre), a private company on Grunwaldzka Street, open since 2020 in the former cinema of the same name, with an auditorium of about three hundred seats. It describes itself as the first musical theatre in the city and the province. The building has a long history of entertainment: first a café with concerts and dance music, then a cinema for decades.
Outside Koszalin, look for performances at municipal cultural institutions. In Świnoujście that means Sala Teatralna MDK, in Stargard Stargardzkie Centrum Kultury and in Wałcz Wałeckie Centrum Kultury.
Nearly ninety listings are cabaret, which is more than cinema. The Cabaret category shows them all at once, whatever the town. It is a good starting point if you fancy a lighter evening and do not mind travelling to a neighbouring town.
Search the whole category rather than one town: if nothing in Szczecin suits you, see what nearby places have announced. Before travelling, compare the date and the hall.
Koszalin has more than a hundred events, around a quarter of the calendar, making it the strongest centre in the region after Szczecin. A philharmonic, a drama theatre, a musical theatre and a club in one city make it easy to plan a whole weekend. All the dates are collected under Koszalin.
At the top of the venue list is Filharmonia Koszalińska im.Stanisława Moniuszki, which also appears in the data under a shorter form, Filharmonia Koszalińska, so treat the two as one institution when browsing. Alongside it are the two theatres mentioned above, the Prywatka club and Centrum Kultury 105 w Koszalinie.
A visit combines well with a walk: in the east of the city rises Góra Chełmska (Chełmska Hill), a moraine ridge with a sanctuary and an observation tower, eight kilometres from the Baltic as the crow flies.
Kołobrzeg leads the coast with more than thirty listings. Mielno and Świnoujście have only a few each, so you can read through them in a minute. It is worth doing before you travel, especially in case the weather rules out the beach, since a booked seat gives such a day some shape.
In Kołobrzeg two venues stand out by number of listings: Regionalne Centrum Kultury and Centrala Klub Muzyczny. In Mielno the programme centres on Frajda Scena Mielno, and in Świnoujście on the theatre hall of the municipal arts centre mentioned above.
Towns around Szczecin have their own cultural institutions and their own listings, so residents need not travel to the regional capital for every night out. Stargard has the most in this group, more than twenty. The others have a few events each, usually at one main hall.
In Stargard the arts centre mentioned earlier leads the programme. In Goleniów the venue is Goleniowski Dom Kultury, in Gryfice Gryficki Dom Kultury and in Pyrzyce Pyrzycki Dom Kultury. Choszczno, Dębno, Police, Przelewice and Karlino also have the odd listing.
More than sixty listings are screenings, collected in the Cinema category. Halls in smaller towns dominate this group, many of them in the lake districts. If you are on holiday by a lake, see what is showing nearest your accommodation, and a rainy day will no longer be a last-minute problem.
Drawsko Pomorskie and Złocieniec have well over a dozen listings each, a good number for their size. Both lie in the Drawsko Lake District, so it makes sense to check them together when planning a trip that way.
A ticket for the evening rounds off a day spent in the same town, with no further travel needed. Choose the event first, then build the day around its address. In several towns the venue shares a town with well-known monuments, piers or lakes, so one fits easily around the other.
In Szczecin, before a philharmonic concert, you can stroll around Jasne Błonia, a green with more than two hundred plane trees in the same district, having seen the Old Town and St James's Cathedral earlier on. Kołobrzeg suggests a day on the pier and at the Gothic basilica, then an evening at the arts centre or the club. In Świnoujście the day can be filled by the Spa Park and the fishing museum in the old town hall on Plac Rybaka.
In Stargard, before going to the arts centre, see the Mill Gate over its canal and St Mary's Collegiate Church on the Old Market Square. Mielno offers a choice of the beach, Lake Jamno with its boat trips and the nearby lighthouse at Gąski. In Barlinek you can spend the day by the lake and go to the cinema in the evening. A trip to a screening in Drawsko Pomorskie or Złocieniec can be combined with Lake Drawsko, the largest in the Drawsko Lake District, with bases for sailors and kayakers in Czaplinek. For more daytime ideas, turn to the attractions section, where each of these towns has its own listings.
It does, but they are a small part of the whole. Sport has a few listings, while workshops, festivals and children's events can be counted on one hand. When looking for something for the family, do not stop at the category: browse the programme of the arts centre in your town as well.
In these groups one new listing visibly changes the choice, so they are worth revisiting more often than music or theatre, where there are always several options for the coming days.
Set the calendar to today and look through the listings from Szczecin venues. The most likely finds are a concert at the philharmonic, an evening at Scena Dekadencja, or an event at one of the clubs and arts centres.
Use the link next to the event you have chosen. Before paying, compare the hall and town names, because the calendar covers venues across the province and several of them sound alike.
The two main addresses are the philharmonic in Szczecin and the philharmonic in Koszalin. Both are among the venues that appear most often in the calendar, so it is easy to find a date in either city that suits your trip.
Above all, philharmonic concerts and productions by the Baltic Drama Theatre and the Adria Musical Theatre. On top of that come evenings at the Prywatka club and the programme of Centrum Kultury 105.
Check with the town filter by choosing Kołobrzeg, Mielno or Świnoujście and the dates you have in mind. Kołobrzeg has the most listings, with two regular venues leading the programme: the arts centre and the music club.
