WONDEREST to bring together local and international artists in Hungary! – PHOTOS, VIDEOS
Change language:
For the third year in a row, WONDEREST brings together local and international artists in the indie-folk, neoclassical and other mainly acoustic genres in the middle of nature. Born in the Transylvanian mountains, the festival will move to the Hungarian Őrség National Park area this year, close to the Austrian and Slovenian borders.
The Story:
WONDEREST itself grew out of the Budapest-based concert series called Garden Wonder now approaching the 5-year mark, after the need developed in the community to extend the shared experience and time spent together at each concert. The result was a four-day festival in Transylvania,
but the most important element, the wonder, remained: both at the concerts and at WONDEREST, the experience is rooted in being present in the moment.
The motto of WONDEREST: “Here. Now. / Here. Now”.
Festival participants can break away from everyday life and technology and experience a minimalist lifestyle during their four-day camping, immersing themselves in a slow living rhythm. Sustainability is a priority that influences every sphere of the festival: WONDEREST encourages its musicians and guests alike to choose environmentally conscious options when planning their travel: carpool, train, bus.
The development of (vegan) festival kitchen is also an important part of the sustainability framework, emphasizing that the meals are made from local and seasonal ingredients. This year, the vegetables will be sourced from the organic garden of Vas County Specialized Home.
