    The 1990s were a high point for Mazury as they toured Poland in 1992 to celebrate the country's return to independence. Mazury was the only youth group that participated in the victory parade in Warsaw and performed in large stadiums and palaces. Mazury toured Poland again in 1996 for folklore festivals in the Beskid Mountains. A new generation joined Mazury, including children of previous dancers and those from families that were part of the Solidarity movement. Mazury's 50th anniversary in 1999 was marked with tours to Hungary and a performance in London, and they received honors from the Polish government.

    The 1990s -

    a free Poland
    The high point of the 1990s was Mazury’s
    tour to Poland in 1992 to take part in the
    celebrations marking the return to a free and
    independent Poland, when Mazury were the
    only youth group to take part in the victory
    parade in Warsaw and danced in the huge
    Torwar Stadium as well as the beautiful
    Łazienki Palace stage on the lake. Mazury
    toured to Poland again in 1996 to take part in
    the Festival of the Beskid Mountains in south Mazury in Warsaw in 1992 during the parade before Presidents Lech Wałęsa and
    west Poland and the Czech Republic, where Ryszard Kaczorowski marking the official return of Poland’s ex-combatants to their
    they received a rapturous reception and were country
    able to experience the folklore of this area at
    first hand. A new generation of dancers began
    to join the group - as well as the children of
    dancers from the 60s and 70s, there were the
    children of the Solidarity emigration who
    swelled the ranks of the younger groups.
    Mazury’s 50th anniversary year in 1999 was
    celebrated with a tour to Hungary to take
    part in the Debrecen flower festival, and
    culminated in a gala performance at Her
    Majesty’s Theatre in London’s Haymarket.
    Mazury also received honours from the Polish
    Government to mark the occasion.
