The World Games 2017 will conclude on Sunday with the Closing Ceremony. It will begin at 21.00 on Wolności Square. The Closing Ceremony will present an opportunity for TWG 2017 athletes to say goodbye to the fans and the representatives of the next host city of The World Games – Birmingham, Alabama – will collect the official TWG flag, which they will keep until the next edition of the Games in 2021.

One of the biggest attractions of the Closing Ceremony will be a concert by Europe’s largest big band Rebel Babel Ensemble. The wind orchestra under the direction of Łukasz L.U.C Rostkowski will present a unique audiovisual spectacle set to an invigorating musical composition. They will be accompanied by several soloists native to Wrocław: Ania Kłys, Natalia Lubrano, Girls on Fire, Mesajah and Nullo. In addition to their original compositions, the musicians of the Rebel Babel Ensemble will perform several pieces composed by the band’s leader and co-founder Jan Feat.
