Festival is still "alive" and developing
....still alive contrary to the fact that we already met our goal to set the record. In Year 2006 – 1581 gitars, this is how many people played together last year on Wroclaw's market square.

We could say this is the end of story, dream come tru, what more ? But here it's not about record, and numbers, but common playing, keeping tradition alive, which started in 2003
