Ostróda Reggae Festival

Ostróda Reggae Festival is the largest reggae music festival in Poland, held annually in the town of Ostróda since 2001.^[1]

The roots of the festival go back to 1983, when employees of the then Municipal Cultural Centre in Ostróda organized a local music contest under the name "Ost-Rock". It featured young bands from Ostróda and surrounding areas as part of the National Youth Song Review.^[2] Annual editions were held until 1989 in various locations throughout the town. The most frequent winner was the local band Magister z Wyciętą Przysadką Mózgową. Other participants included Blues Children, Klaps, Policja w Krainie Czarów, Rzeka Czasu, Positive Vibration, Nasza Rozgłośnia, Napalm, and Naga Prawda.

In the 1990s, two attempts to revive the contest were made — in 1995 and 1996 — with the band Agonya winning both times.^[2]

The modern version of the festival was launched in 2001 through the efforts of Artur "Many" Munje, head of Ostróda's Promotion Office, and Piotr "Piter" Kolaj from the agency Positive Music Promotion.^[3] For the first three years, the event took place in the courtyard of the Teutonic Castle in Ostróda under the name "Ost-Rock-Reggae". In 2004, the festival moved to the "Białe Koszary" military complex and adopted the name Ostróda Reggae Festival.

The program traditionally includes a competition for young bands, with judges such as Włodzimierz Kleszcz, Sławomir Gołaszewski, Robert Brylewski, Mirosław "Maken" Dzięciołowski, Grzegorz Kasjaniuk, and Jarosław Hejenkowski.

From the fifth edition onward, the festival features three main stages: Red Stage, Green Stage, and Yellow SoundSystem Stage.^[1]
