The National Festival of Polish Song in Opole (Polish: Krajowy Festiwal Piosenki Polskiej w Opolu, KFPP), commonly known as the Opole Festival (Polish: Festiwal w Opolu)[1][2] is an annual music festival in Opole, Poland. Together with the Sopot Festival it is one of the two most important music festivals in Poland.
The Opole Festival is meant as a summary of the past year's achievements by Polish song writers and performers. It is also the most important cultural event in Opole, with a tradition going back 50 years. It usually takes place in late June, since 2011 lasting for two days (Friday and Saturday) and from 2013 again it takes three days. During the KFPP both the hits of the past season and new debut songs are performed; there is also a tournament of performing debuts.
