For 30+ years, the old railway bridge across the Danube to Óbuda Island has, for six days each August, become a portal to another world. A place where gigantic inflatable sculptures of heads made from... See more eyes rise from the earth. Where sci-fi corridors of light guide you to arenas rammed with drag queens and late-night ravers. Where the world’s greatest circus performers, dance troupes, global ensembles, and theatrical extravaganzas come together; the biggest pop/rock stars and most exciting rising acts blast brilliance from the main stages. This is Sziget, where any prejudices and bigotries are left on the mainland and 400,000 annual visitors from across the world are encouraged to live their true selves during one of Europe’s biggest, most inclusive, and most broad-minded festivals. And it all happens at the heart of Budapest, one of the most beautiful capital cities in Europe.
