Dear Visitor,
A warm welcome to Budapest!
Today, Sziget is as much a part of Budapest’s identity as the Chain Bridge, the Danube panorama, or the iconic yellow trams. Over the past three decades, Sziget has become a symbol of Budapest’s freedom and diversity—qualities that make our city so attractive.
We are proud that one of the world’s greatest festivals not only connects locals with people and cultures from all corners of the globe, but also welcomes everyone with love and without discrimination. During the week of Sziget, Budapest is renewed each year—it fills with life and energy. Thank you for adding your own energy to the vibrancy of our city!
Gergely Karácsony
Mayor of Budapest

Dear Szitizens,
Welcome to one of Europe’s largest music and cultural festivals.
I sincerely hope that you will have the best time here at the SZIGET 2025 festival, wether you only pop in for one night, or you will stay from start to end. In the name of Óbuda – Békásmegyer Municipality, let me wish you to have great fun, enjoy the programmes, and have many awesome memories, cool experiences, and form new friendships along the way!
