This is how much a pint of beer will cost at Sziget Festival

Sziget Festival is one of the biggest events of the summer in Hungary. Thousands of tourists flock to the festival every year. However, you might have to dig deep in your pocket if you want to eat or drink something there.

How much will you have to pay for a beer?

According to Tamás Kádár, managing director of Sziget Zrt. and the main organiser of the festival, buffet prices will rise in proportion to inflation. A pint of beer will cost about HUF 1,600-1,700 (EUR 4,15- 4,41), writes Forbes. A new experiment is also being tested during this year’s Sziget. This is so-called budget food, according to which all restaurants on the island must sell a complete main course for a maximum of HUF 2,500 (EUR 6,49). According to Kádár, the caterers did not complain about the change, cost-cutting variations should be considered here, such as replacing serrano ham with sausage on the pizza.

They also found a solution to the dust

Every year, guests compain about the extreme dust on the festival, but it was especially unbearable last year. This year, Hajógyári Island (or Óbuda Island) will be irrigated with water from the Danube. According to Kádár, the situation is better this year than in 2022, as they do not expect a drought of several weeks before the festival.
