Uczestnictwo w muzycznych wydarzeniach kulturalnych – forma turystyki czy tylko sposób spędzania czasu wolnego?

The considerations presented in the following article are focused on event tourism. The aim of the study is to determine whether participation in music events is a form of tourism or just a kind of leisure time activity. Due to this purpose a comparison of concerts and Open'er Festival participants' behavior has been made. A part of the analysis consisted in assessment of tourist activities held during the events. The study`s results reveal that participation in music events is not a separate form of tourism and a person who takes part in concerts and music festivals is not a tourist in the strict sense.
