Every year, in the last week of July in the southern part of Kashubia, in the towns of Brusy, Czersk, Koscierzyna, Wdzydze and Many, the International Film Festival "Kashubian Meetings with Folklore of the World" is held.
The festival begins on Wednesday with a colorful procession on the streets of Wiela, followed by the INAUGURATION CONCERT. For the next few days, ie from Thursday to Saturday, guests from abroad and the hosts perform simultaneously on five stages in the Chojnicki and Koscierzyna poviats.
