On May 20, 2025, the Grand Colorful Parade set off from building F of the University of Economics in Katowice, officially inaugurating Silesian Juwenalia 2025! As per tradition, students received the symbolic key to the city. The parade was officially opened by HM the Rector prof. dr hab. inż. Celina M. Olszak and Vice-Rector for Teaching and International Relations prof. dr hab. Wojciech Dyduch, who this year walked the entire route with students through the city streets all the way to Powstańców Śląskich Park.
Juwenalia Śląskie is probably the best and most anticipated music event in Katowice (and beyond). This annual celebration of all Silesian students has a long and rich history, dating back to the early '90s. Year after year, it attracts crowds of party-loving students eager for carefree fun, fueled by live performances from top Polish artists.
The parade
This is a wonderful celebration of joy and fun, but also one of responsibility and safety. We count on you to enjoy it, build connections, and most importantly, spend this time wisely and responsibly. All the best! - emphasized HM the Rector prof. Celina M. Olszak
Wishing you an amazing Juwenalia 2025! Remember, you are our fantastic students, our ambassadors, and our pride! We’re proud of you and hope you have a great time and an unforgettable parade! - added Vice-Rector prof. Wojciech Dyduch, also addressing the large group of international students participating in the event.
Handing Over the Keys to the City
The colorful student parade marched through the city streets with vibrant costumes, music, and joy. Alongside the academic community, representatives of the University authorities, including HM the Rector prof. dr hab. inż. Celina M. Olszak and Vice-Rector prof. dr hab. Wojciech Dyduch, walked proudly with the students. The participants reached Powstańców Śląskich Park, where they were welcomed by city officials and representatives of other Silesian universities.
My dear students, welcome on this sunny day! We are with you and we celebrate this year’s Juwenalia, which for me is a symbol of energy, youth, passion, commitment, and academic solidarity! I hope today and the days to come will be filled with joy and, above all, safety. The handing over of the key is a symbol of our trust in your wisdom and responsibility. Have a great time! - said HM the Rector prof. Celina M. Olszak.
I hereby hand over the key to the city gates to you - as a symbol marking the start of Juwenalia! - announced Waldemar Bojarun Deputy Mayor of Katowice, on behalf of Mayor Marcin Krupa, officially launching Silesian Juwenalia 2025.
