The popular Hungarian Festival, Sziget inched to a close yesterday, to an end whichΒ was as celebratory as the festival itself!
The self-confessed ‘Island of Freedom’ is an 8-day mega-event where music, art, and people descend to unwind in some much needed cultural therapy. Held along the banks of the Danube river in Budapest, Hungary, the natural beauty of the location and its historic significance has led to Sziget becoming one of the most prominent festivals in the world, and one of the more compelling ones in Europe. The 2015 run of the festival too proved to be a brilliant experience for everyone in attendance.
So The Sherp went snooping around for all those pictures that prove just how good Sziget 2015 was!
