Freedom, diversity, entertainment – Sziget Festival in 8 photos

Similarly to previous years, Sziget Festival did not disappoint. With over 500,000 visitors, the flagship of Love Revolution remains one of the leading festivals in Central Europe. We collected some images that demonstrate the characteristic atmosphere of the Óbuda Island’s annual village cavalcade.

Diversity

The event always attracts visitors from all over the world, hence the diversity is guaranteed. This year visitors came from some 100 countries, with most foreigners arriving from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy.

Love Revolution

Sziget aims to use its power of community and togetherness, guided by love, to support causes that could help the planet become a better place. With this kept in mind, there was a special appearance and speech each day on the main stage delivered by iconic figures such as Dr Jane Goodall, Al Gore etc. The powerful thoughts brought a whole new colour into the palette of the festival.

Gastronomy

One must refill once or twice a day in order to keep the energy level needed to dance through the festival and endure the crowd. Luckily, the food and drink scene is similarly diverse and versatile, offering delicious creations from all types of cuisines.
