Swing into summer at The Paloznaki Jazzpiknik!
Groove under the summer sky at the Paloznaki Jazzpiknik! Set in the charming village of Paloznak, this jazz festival has grown from a cosy gathering into one of Hungary's premier music events. With main stage concerts by top Hungarian and international artists, guests can relax on blankets by day and dance under the stars by night. Smaller stages set among century-old village houses offer intimate jazz performances. The event focuses on quality gastronomy, local products, and sustainability—using compostable cups and plates and minimising plastic.
