On Saturday, September 5, the event began with the X Cross Commando race for the Brown Bear statuette. The extreme cross-country run brought together soldiers and thrill-seekers.
The Military Picnic is taking place from 1:00 p.m. and will continue until 4:30 p.m. Participants can enjoy many attractions connected with the military and uniformed services.
One of the program highlights is a parachute jump. However, it is still not entirely certain whether it will take place. Everything depends on the weather and wind. Many other attractions are also awaiting event participants.

Visitors can view heavy military equipment up close, including a tank, as well as the most modern equipment of the Special Forces and the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment. A truck awaits those with a sweet tooth; games and activities for children take place inside, with sweets from a well-known manufacturer as prizes.
The program also includes hand-to-hand combat and battlefield medicine demonstrations, and a basketball game has also been prepared for participants.
Rural Housewives' Associations are presenting their stands, the Wawel Truck is also there, and traditional military pea soup can be sampled at the Community Center.
The picnic will continue until 4:30 p.m., so people who have not yet reached Dobra still have an opportunity to see the military equipment, demonstrations and other attractions.
The Military Festival is organized by the Municipal Culture and Sports Center, Bolesławiec Commune Head Andrzej Janiec, and the Association of Former Soldiers of the 62nd Special Company “Commando” in Bolesławiec. The event is held under the patronage of the General Commander of the Branches of the Armed Forces and co-financed by the Ministry of National Defence.
