The aim of the festival "Inspired by the mountains..." named after Ewa and Maciej Berbeka is to showcase creativity in various fields, whose source is fascination with mountains, including the Tatras and the town located at their foot, with its interesting culture and history.

Since the third edition, the festival has been dedicated to Maciej Berbeka, who died on Broad Peak in 2013. On April 29, 2018, after a debilitating illness, Ewa Dyakowska – Berbeka passed away. On October 19, 2018, a solemn announcement of the Festival Patrons – Zakopane residents working and acting socially in Zakopane, engaged in the organization of the Festival, took place at the St. I. Witkiewicz Theatre.
