About our Federation

The Hungarian Arts Festivals Federation has been representing Hungary's professional art festivals, both at home and abroad, since 1990.
The ever growing number of festivals is indicative of the growing interest, both in and outside Hungary, that is emerging in Hungary's cultural heritage, as well as in the cultural heritage represented by the artists and ensembles of other nationalities who participate in the festivals. The more than forty member festivals play an important role in popularising Hungarian culture both nationally and internationally. The festivals are the celebration of art; they bring out cultural values, and they nurture historical and artistic traditions. Finally, they are representative of the dynamic development of cultural tourism.
The organisers of these festivals strive, beyond planning the cultural events, to present the historical and natural values of a given region, its rich folk heritage, and its unique cuisine. In doing this they hope to make our country attractive to visitors.
The festivals, significant events in Hungary at the turn of the millennium, are presented in the site in alphabetical order.
We look forward to seeing you! Browse through the site and choose a few events from the rich selection. In the meantime we hope you get to know Hungary's historic cities, its cultural and natural beauty, and the warm hospitality of its people.
