The Ghymes band carries out a tradition former all-art festival from the 2nd to the 4th July that is based on the permanent products of contemporary music, theatre and literature life.

The Szarka-brothers had dreamt this three-day festival a long time ago, and managed to turn it into reality at the shade of the hills of late Pannon-sea (Szent György-hill, Badacsony, Szigliget).

„This Fesival is the soul of our band. The creative community of Ghymes is more than an ordinary band: a separate world, in which the theatre, music, literature and history creates a living integrate together. This more than one day event is the perfect medium for us to express ourselfs and to make a direct contact with the audience. It is not accidental that the Ghymes band was founded at a festival many years ago...“ – said Gyula Szarka. Beside several world famous plays, musical fable plays, concerts, other performances there will also be a Ghymes concert and a special poetry night comprehending a life-work of Tamas Szarka, who is one of the leaders of Ghymes.

The Ghymes Festival (2-3-4th July) is the best occasion to celabrate and enjoy together the general Hungarian and Europian cultural heritage during our summer holiday relaxation, vine tasting or as a part of a few day long Balaton trip. Beside many exciting performances there will be a fair, craftsman activities, wine tasting of products of Szent György-hill, and the inevitable traditional Hungarian dishes.
