About this event
Launched by the teams behind Sziget and Budapest Park, this new street music festival plants 50 to 60 buskers across ten squares, markets and transport hubs over six days. Passers-by scan QR codes to vote for their favourites, and the winners land a slot on a Sziget stage. It turns an ordinary walk across the city into an accidental festival crawl.
Why we picked it
A brand-new citywide busking festival where your vote can put a street musician on the Sziget stage.
Free entry
Free to attend at all ten public locations, with no registration required.
