Guitar Masters Camp (formerly Summer Guitar Festival) is a prestigious musical event taking place in Krzyżowa for nineteen years. In addition to the well-known masters of classical guitar, Krzyżowa is visited by prominent representatives of other specialties. The event includes master classes and workshops of classical, acoustic, electric, jazz, bass and flamenco guitar and dance. The festival participants have the opportunity to see DVD presentations, lectures and exhibitions of guitars and musical accessories.
In the evenings, lecturers and workshop participants meet during the "Jam Sessions" in the Palace in Krzyżowa. It is a paradise for common playing music, perfecting the art of improvisation and... other creative activities.
The stage in the Palace is made available every evening to everyone, regardless of age and skills, but always under the direction of supervisors.
