Quick Guide: ‘Paloznak Jazzpiknik’, Near Balaton, 3 - 5 August
The Paloznak Jazzpiknik is held every year since 2012 in Paloznak, one of the nicest villages on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. The event turned from a small jamboree held in the village into a 3-day, 4-stage, 40-concert festival, and from 2015 it became a pillar member of the Nagyon Balaton event series.

From the organisers:

The festival grows continuously based on the needs of the audience, and although it attracts every year more and more people, we don’t want to lose our familiar atmosphere.

The maximum capacity is not based on square meter/person, we leave space to have that picnic feeling. We offer free entrance under the age of 14, and we know that the families wouldn’t be complete without their dogs, so audience can bring them our festival too.

The organiser's selection of music entertains wide age group of people, from little ones to elderly music lovers. In one of the most beautiful corners of the Balaton Highlands, we strive to make this festival environmentally friendly to the greatest possible extent.

They avoid using plastic as much as we can, and only offer compostable cups and plates made of plant fibers. We introduced awareness raising children programs to draw our future adults attention to the environment.
