Sziget Festival is over

362 thousand Szitizens

The 2013 Sziget Festival saw a total of 362 thousand visitors present on the island throughout the 7 days of the event.

More than 1000 inhabitants of Dream City have shared, created, and helped each other to improve and expand their perceptions of life through innovative building and art projects.

Some of the festival guests already moved into the camping area in March, and together they have created a post office, wo...
