Get ready for a thrilling fusion of circus and aerial feats in Lublin this July!  The renowned Carnaval Sztukmistrz\u00f3w joins forces with the Urban Highline Festival from July 25th to 28th, 2024. Witness daring slackliners  on taut lines strung high above Lublin\u2019s Old Town and City Centre, adding a spectacular aerial stage to the vibrant carnaval atmosphere. <\/strong><\/p>\n

About<\/h2>\n

More than just a spectacle, the Urban Highline Festival is a vibrant gathering of slacklining enthusiasts. As the oldest festival of its kind in Europe, and one of the largest worldwide, it\u2019s attracted thousands of participants from over 70 countries since its inception in Lublin back in 2009. While spectators marvel at the highliners traversing taut lines strung high above, the festival truly comes alive for those taking part. It\u2019s an annual celebration where passion, knowledge, and experience are shared amongst these daring athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Urban Highline Festival is a passion project, created by and for slackliners,\u201d explains Wojciech Sie\u0144ko, a representative of the festival. \u201cFor the past 16 years, it\u2019s attracted enthusiasts from all over the globe \u2013 daredevils who love the thrill of walking on thin lines high above Lublin\u2019s streets. Every year, we string up the famous \u2018Churchline\u2019 \u2013 the second-most renowned highline in the world, following the legendary Lost Arrow Sparrow in Yosemite National Park (established in the 1980s, on July 13, 1985, to be exact!). Interestingly, UHF holds the distinction of being the first festival ever to host highlining in an urban environment back in 2009. Who knew this adrenaline-pumping sport could be enjoyed right in the heart of the city?\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, the festival is expanding across Lublin with dedicated zones offering a variety of experiences:<\/strong><\/p>\n

LCK Zone<\/strong> (Lublin Conference Center): Freestylers will take center stage on 50 and 70-meter lines. On Friday evening (July 26th), witness a world-first as one line is illuminated by LED lights!<\/p>\n

Lubelskie Zon<\/strong>e (Lublin Voivodeship Office and City Office): Experienced highliners can push their limits on lines ranging from 55 to 100 meters.<\/p>\n

City of Inspiration Zone<\/strong> (Town Hall and Krakowska Gate): Prepare to be dazzled by freestyle tricks in this electrifying zone.<\/p>\n

InterBroker Zone<\/strong> (Crown Tribunal): Masterful trickline performances by Filip Oleksik will leave you speechless.<\/p>\n

Firmament Zone<\/strong> (Trinitarian Tower): Don\u2019t miss the legendary Churchline \u2013 a must-see for any highlining enthusiast.<\/p>\n

Re-Union Zone<\/strong> (B\u0142onia near the Castle): This zone offers a welcoming space for both seasoned highliners and curious newcomers. Explore the highliners\u2019 camp and try your hand at slacklining alongside local residents and tourists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Urban Highline Festival has consistently been Lublin\u2019s most international event, and last year, we were honoured to be recognised as the world\u2019s most visited festival by the International Slackline Association! We\u2019re incredibly proud to welcome such a diverse group of participants. To enhance their experience, we offer a comprehensive workshop programme, ranging from movement training and highline technique to essential safety education. This year, we\u2019re expecting highliners from a staggering array of countries, including Austria, Colombia, Finland, and all the way to Australia! To help them discover Lublin\u2019s rich history, we\u2019ve even organised a special tour following the trail of the Union of Lublin. None of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of the Firmament Foundation and our dedicated sponsors like the City of Lublin, InterBroker, the Lublin Voivodeship, the Lublin Conference Centre, and countless technical and technological partners,\u201d says Wojciech Sie\u0144ko.<\/p>\n

Essential Facts for Urban Highline Festival Enthusiasts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Slackline vs. Tightrope<\/strong>: Slackliners walk on \u201cslacklines,\u201d not tightropes. These lines are typically 2.5-5 cm wide and made of nylon or polyester.<\/p>\n

Ancient Roots:<\/strong> Slacklining traces its origins to nomadic cultures. Tightrope walking practices have been documented among communities in Central Asia and the Middle East. For these societies, slacklining was not just entertainment but also a part of tradition and ceremonies.<\/p>\n

Pushing Limits:<\/strong> Some slackliners challenge themselves by attempting world records. The highline distance record stands at over 2.7 km!<\/p>\n

Trickline Spectacle:<\/strong> Trickline is a slackline discipline where performers execute various tricks, acrobatics, and jumps on the taut line.<\/p>\n

Freestyle Highline Fusion:<\/strong> This advanced form has slackliners walking on a highly tensioned line suspended at great heights.<\/p>\n

Urban Highline Innovation<\/strong>: Lublin is the birthplace of Urban Highline, a variant practised in cities and urban areas.<\/p>\n
