The 3rd MCC Feszt will be held on 27-29 July 2023.

MCC Feszt is more than a traditional festival: besides a wide array of cultural programs, concerts, and sports activities, we provide a platform to exchange ideas and discuss the topics and issues that interest today’s young intellectuals.

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet renowned foreign guests.

In keeping with tradition, programs featuring renowned foreign experts will be one of the mainstays of this year's MCC Feszt.

Foreign invitees include, among others, Mark Daniel Regnerus, professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, Jay W. Richards, director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and the Discovery Institute, Dean Karalekas, research fellow at the Centre for Austronesian Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, author of several books, including The Men in No Man's Land: A Journey Into Bir Tawil and Civil-Military Relations in Taiwan: Identity and Transformation.

At this year's MCC Feszt, visitors can meet Rebeka Vital, an experienced senior lecturer at the Shenkar School of Design, who teaches Interior, Building and Environment Design, while leading innovative research in fields such as lighting and cultural heritage.

 David Wolpe, Max Webb senior rabbi at Temple Sinai in Los Angeles, author of eight books, including the bestseller Making Loss Matter and David: The Divided Heart, will also be present at the festival.

The latest, a biography of King David, has been optioned for a movie by Warner Bros. David Wolpe has been named the most influential rabbi in America by Newsweek.

A variety of musical and professional programs await the festivalgoers

Musical performers at the three-day festival will offer exciting entertainment for all ages. The event will focus on showcasing musical talent and feature bands that combine classical music and jazz with pop music to create a unique sound.

These bands include the Blahalouisiana symphonic, a rock band inspired by modern American songwriters featuring blues and country elements, the Bagossy Brothers Company, a Hungarian rock band from Transylvania, and the Roma folk band Parno Graszt. 

The MCC Feszt will also feature Irie Maffia, a primarily reggae and dancehall band, the Hungarian pop duo VALMAR, and György Korda and Klári Balázs, whose performance at last year’s festival proved quite popular.

The professional-themed events will include panel discussions with representatives of leading companies, as well as presentations on gastronomy, fashion, literature, and Hungarian innovation.

At the Edu Promenade, MCC will showcase its wide range of training programs and several partner organizations will also be present. Furthermore, various family activities will be organized throughout the day.
