Become one with nature and a blazing bonfire in a Hungarian forest

Kolorado 2019

When: WED–SUN, June 19–23
Where: Nagykovácsi in Hungary (near Budapest)
Entry: 30€ day pass, 61€ festival pass (without camping), buy a ticket

Kolorado will take place for the fourth time this year. This low-key and relaxed festival happens in a forest 30 minutes away from Budapest. The festival is made up of several stages, showcasing  ‘special energies’ (their words, not ours), Hungarian and international artists, bands, and DJs, plus there’s a lot going on alongside the music at this festival. Check out the detailed programme. Just take a look at the festival movie from 2018 and you’ll get a glimpse of the special feeling happening at this one:

To get there you’ll need to… hitchhike your way to the festival (‘cause that’s the spirit of the festival), or just take the public transport, or a taxi from Budapest.
This festival is special because… it literally is flamboyance in the forest
