Big Changes for Epic Quality
In past years, the festival ran on community spirit, grants, and volunteers to stay free. But the costs of mega-concerts—stage, sound, lights, security, artists, crew—outgrew funding. So main stage shows are now ticketed to keep (and boost) the quality you love. The festival stage moves to the Grove (bye, old Grove stage). Petőfi Square gets a new, bigger stage than the old pavilion one. Everything else stays free!
Mark May 22-24, 2026, in Túrkeve—your spot awaits!
