THE BALKAN IN FOCUS
IN 2019, THE BALKANS ARE IN PONT FESTIVAL’S FOCUS. INTERACTIVE FAMILY PROGRAMS DURING THE DAY, MUSICAL WORKSHOPS IN THE AFTERNOON AND UNIQUE CONCERTS IN THE EVENING SERVE TO SHOWCASE THE REGION’S RICH HERITAGE.
PONT FESTIVAL, A COOPERATION OF HANGVETŐ AND BUDAPEST SPRING FESTIVAL, BRINGS THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD TO BUDAPEST. THROUGH UNESCO’S INTANGIBLE HERITAGE LIST THE FESTIVAL PRESENTS DIVERSITY AND TRADITION.
MORNING PROGRAMMES TAKE PLACE IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, WHILE AFTERNOON PROGRAMMES AND CONCERTS ARE HELD IN THE AULA AND EVENT HALL OF CASTLE GARDEN BAZAAR. GO TO THE ‘DRY DITCH’ TO ENJOY ‘MERCURIAL MARIONETTES’.
CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1875 – 1883, BASED ON NEO-RENAISSANCE PLANS BY MIKLÓS YBL, THE CASTLE GARDEN BAZAAR WAS REJUVENATED AND EXTENDED TO HOST A CULTURAL VENUE AND COMMUNITY CENTRE. STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES AND A GORGEOUS LOCATION HOST PROGRAMMES FOR ALL AGES.
IN LINE WITH PONT FESTIVAL’S THEME, VIEWS OF THE WORLD HERITAGE LISTED DANUBE BANK AND CASTLE DISTRICT SERVE AS A BACKDROP.
