On August 20–21, Margitsziget will host the two-day, free-to-attend Élménysziget (Island of Experiences) event series, welcoming families and anyone looking to unwind. At one of Budapest's most beautiful outdoor venues, every generation will find something to enjoy: children's and family programmes, interactive activities, and light music concerts as part of the Beats Sziget programme.
One of the most special events is the evening Fénykert (Garden of Lights) in the Margitsziget Rose Garden, where visitors can enjoy spectacular light displays between 8:00 PM and 1:00 AM. This year, the middle of the Danube will be all about play, music, and celebrating together at this open, diverse, family-friendly series of events.
