Tourist information - Entertainment - Sziget Festival
The Sziget Festival is one of Europe's largest music and cultural festivals, held annually in August in Budapest, Hungary.
The festival takes place on Óbudai-sziget ("Old-Buda Island"), an island on the Danube, thus Sziget stands for Island. Currently it boasts more than 1000 performances each year. In 2008, Sziget Festival will be from the 12th to the 18th of August. The festival, instead of 7+1 days as in 2007, will be 5+1 days long, with a "zero day" where the audience can watch one big concert (Iron Maiden)
