Kazinczy Street, once Kereszt Street, is the heart of what is today seen as one of Europe’s unique city districts, with a fabulous atmosphere filled with Jewish and multicultural tradition going back to several hundred years.

The Festival revives the special heritage of Kazinczy Street, with live performances, concerts and a colorful street fair.

Performers on three stages included Jónás Vera Experiment, Gájer Bálint, Rutkai Bori Banda, Dés Mihály and many more.

A multicultural festival, attracting several thousand local and touring visitors, with special city walks offering a chance to discover the hidden corners of the old Jewish Quarter and the chance to meet old friends and new people. And as they say in this particular quarter “Shalom”!
