Come visit us at Sziget festival again this year

Hungary is on a mission to enhance your festival experience. Take your purchased in-store BBQ products to chefs at the ALDI Grill Zone (found next to the festival pop-up shop) and they’ll cook them for you for free!

For those looking for a quick boost, the pop-up will also offer a selection of around 20 freshly baked pastries to choose from in the display bakery.

And, if in the eagerness to pack you forgot to bring some festival essentials, the ALDI Hungary pop-up also features non-food products.

The supermarket’s Sziget Festival pop-up will contain around 300 products, including its wellrespected own-brand range, as well as new products, and will of course offer the same price advantage you receive in store.

ALDI, making the everyday amazing. Making your festival experience even better.

The store offers food, fresh fruit and vegetables and locally baked pastries. Festival-goers can shop at the same price as in any ALDI across Hungary!

all the sights along the Danube, including Parliament, and the world-famous panorama of Budapest. The changing views are made more breathtaking by the accompanying music from the likes of Joris Delacroix, Bart Skils, and James Zabiela.

Whilst visiting Budapest, Sziget Festival also recommends a few other sites to visit during your stay.

As passed on its boat cruise, the Hungarian Parliament building is one of the most iconic buildings in Budapest. Whilst it offers its own breathtaking sight with its neo-gothic architecture, it also gives stunning views of the city.

Visitors can also check out the UNESCO World Heritage Site - Buda Castle, explore Budapest’s Jewish Quarter, featuring a number of synagogues, museums, and restaurants, and even do some relaxing at the thermal baths!

A Guilt-Free Stay

Under the umbrella of its Love Revolution initiative, Sziget Festival is on a mission to ensure its event is one of the most green festivals on the planet.

“The Love Revolution is our way of celebrating that, together, we can achieve sustainable development and environmental awareness in our daily lives,” says the festival’s website.

For 2023, Sziget Festival is implementing several sustainable measures to ensure it can be the greenest festival possible.

Guests can participate in small changes to their day-to-day to improve their individual footprint as part of the bigger picture. This includes using reusable water bottles to fill up at DRINKiQ water taps, only use straws at bars on request, and utilise one of the 30,000 pocket ashtrays which will be handed out on side.

Sziget is working with vendors on larger scale initiatives, including encouraging all food vendors to voluntarily comply with a baseline of sustainability measures, such as providing vegetarian and vegan options, reducing or eliminating red meat, as well as utilising environmentally friendly cleaning products, and monitoring and reducing food waste. In addition, all caterers are required to buy fruit and vegetables that are seasonally available in Hungary from a centralised food retailer that exclusively sells local and domestic in-season produce.

The festival also has several recycling initiatives in place, including Re-Cup, which aims to reduce the amount of plastic cups going to landfill. There’s also the Collective Composting Lab, which was the recipient of the European Innovation Award in 2019. The humus material collected from compostable plates from three of Sziget Festivals diners will be used during the recultivation of Óbuda Island.

To ensure Sziget’s sustainable initiatives are measured, it has partnered with Green Deal Circular Festivals, which will strengthen its data provision systems, as well as work with third party vendors to provide data on energy, waste and raw material usage.
