July – the peak of festivals in 2024
July will bring another round of classic Hungarian festivals in 2024. Colourful events are sprinkled across the country throughout the entire month, with virtually no breaks between them, so festival-goers won’t be short on entertainment! The festival extravaganza will kick off with Balaton Sound, as detailed by VG.hu. The next weekend is again expected to be a hit since two extremely popular festivals, Bánkitó Festival and EFOTT Festival will make the crowd go wild.
Meanwhile, Művészetek Völgye offers a diverse array of cultural, theatrical and musical delights throughout the latter half of July.
August – the final round
As August dawns, FEZEN Festival and Paloznaki Jazzpiknik set the stage for the grand finale: Sziget Festival. With its stellar lineup of international pop stars and a rare spotlight on homegrown talent like Azahriah, the first Hungarian musician who will perform on the Main Stage, Sziget remains a beacon of musical excellence. The summer culminates with the Strand Festival, where another Azahriah performance awaits eager fans.
