The third edition of the Balaton International Folklore Festival on the "Hungarian Sea" will take place in the period 25 - 28 August 2023. The forum is named after the 50-kilometer lake with silky green-yellow water in the middle of the Transdanubian. Lake Balaton is one of Hungary's most precious treasures and the most visited resorts. It is also the largest lake in Central Europe.

The location of the event is the town of Siofok - the largest on the southern side of Lake Balaton. It is known as the party town on the lake and its harbor serves various boat routes. Cruise ships also start from here. Hotels on the Golden and Silver beaches are in high demand. The pleasant parks are decorated with statues and the many different museums will add to the emotions of the experience.

If you are a representative of a folklore group, orchestra, cheerleading group, modern dance group, choir or music group, do not miss to look at the festival regulations. The number of participants and their age are not limited.
