Across the bridge over the Vistula river lies the neighbourhood of Praga. It has its own atmosphere, and especially when a local street festival is held, worth to explore.
Crossing the street, I headed for Zabkowska street, where the atmosphere changed completely. This is where the festival was being held, where I found wall paintings, kids playing on the street, fancy bars, one with an enormous spider on the wall, Poles drinking beer in their window, and at the end, an open-air stage with a musical performance on the street. I turned the corner and entered Brzeska street, which was lively in yet another way. Car-free at least for the day, people took an afternoon stroll, teenagers were decorating a wall with graffiti, couples were dancing tango on a stage, and the warm sunlight made the run down buildings take on a charm all their own. Combined with the atmosphere emanating from the people around here, it felt like a powerful experience, with creativity, joy of life, and progressive people looking towards the future.
