What to do in Poland, upper Silesia area?

Hello Everyone!

I am new to Poland (from the U.S.) and I am looking for some fun stuff to do in this region for the next few months. Anything big going on? Concerts, festivals, anything?

Thanks!

Regards,
Jim

Upper or Lower?

Upper! I live in Katowice now.

Dude, nothing.. It's Katowice

Slash is coming to play here... haha.

Lol shiit what a party :D

Beer!

I like beer. What are regional specialties? Any good Pils?

Find City Pub tonight, Ireland playing Poland in football, should be of Polish peps and some ex-pat Irish and English there too.
I can't go tho, I'll be working a good bit out of the city and won't make it in.

I need to get more into football. Is it the most popular sport in Poland?

Football, boxing and speedway racing .. those are the most famous sports in Poland. Poland is not really good in football, but the fans are one of the best. With Lewandowski Poland has one of the best European football players. In boxing is Wlodarczyk Champion of the WBC I guess in Crusierweight .. Szpilka is heavyweight prospect, same as Szymanski in Welterweight, what the reason is that many people follow this sport.

I dont know why speedway is so famous there, I dont like that sport .. and Poles are also known for liking Rally!!

The homosexual community also likes sailing and volleyball a lot!!

You must be aware tho, that you have to wear tracksuits and shave your head to watch boxing & speedway.
Speedway is possibly the worse motor sport in the world, other than Nascar...at least Nascar has crashes. ;P


They sure had a party in Dublin last night.

Football is handsdown the most pop. though, if there's some big champions league matches on the pubs showing them are usually full.
