On Wednesday afternoon, August 19, the five-day event will kick off at Széchenyi Square, where live concerts, children’s programs, and a street ball will welcome visitors looking for entertainment.

In connection with the feast of Saint Gellért, the Szeged-Csanád Diocese organizes the Saint Gellért International Festival every autumn. The concerts feature rare classical music pieces that further enrich the city’s vibrant musical life.

Following tradition, Szeged Advent, the season of preparation, begins on November 27, before the first Sunday of Advent.
