About Ambient Alley

Up To Date Festival has long been known for its love of ambient music and dedication to its image. It was in Białystok that the Ambient Salon series was born — one of Poland's most important initiatives promoting the genre. From that same passion came Ambient Alley — a unique place where culture meets nature.

The Alley runs along Constitution of 3 May Park and the Zwierzyniecki Forest Reserve. Its location is no coincidence — it emphasises the festival's bond with Białystok and invites a moment of quiet during a walk in the greenery. It symbolically connects the worlds of music and nature — two pillars the festival has honoured for years.

Ambient Alley is the only place of its kind in the world. We are proud that it has become part of the urban fabric of Białystok, and we invite you to visit it every time you are in the city.
