Jewish Cultural Festival in Budapest, 30 August – 10 September
Hosted in Budapest’s most beautiful synagogues and community spaces. Tradition. Presence. Celebration.

World-renowned performers, legendary artists, festival premieres, prominent Hungarian creators, exciting international guests, and outstanding Israeli musicians will come together for this year’s 28th Jewish Cultural Festival.

Unforgettable evenings, unique musical, literary, film, and theatrical events — as well as productions created exclusively for this occasion — await audiences in Budapest’s stunning synagogues and the Jewish community’s most iconic venues.

For nearly three decades, the Jewish Community of Budapest has brought the most vibrant and inspiring aspects of Jewish culture to the public, showcasing the perfect convergence of tradition, contemporary art, and community celebration.

The festival celebrates both heritage and the present day: shared experiences, music, and stories — a continuity where the past remains with us, resonates in the present, and lives on through us. Join us for two weeks defined by tradition, presence, and celebration.
