Zemplén Festival, Now On Until 21 August
The 'Zempléni Fesztivál' celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with an outstanding program of musical events. The first major festival established in the Tokaj Wine Region brings some of Hungary’s best talent together for a week and a half of music. Classical, jazz, folk, church – you’ll find something to your taste in inspired and unusual venues from castles to hunting lodges, churches to synagogues, wineries to cafés, even disused quarries.

Experience the hospitality of Hungarian villagers, as the locals cook up snacks – definitely taste their pogácsa (a typical Hungarian mini yeasted scone) and serve local wines. And it can be fun to join one of the trips that takes in a couple of concerts, perhaps venturing into nearby Slovakia too.

With a variety of locations small and large, and prices for every pocket – including a large number of free events -, it is no surprise that this serious programme of outstanding performers draws a crowd who return time and again.
