Udvar Festival
June 14-15, 2024
Nestled in the heart of Arló, a village in Hungary's most economically challenged Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Udvar Festival emerges as a beacon of music, culture, and arts.
Recognizing the dual challenges of cultural stigmatization and limited opportunities for local Romani children, the festival aims to be more than just an event; it is a movement towards inclusivity, education, and cultural preservation. The alarming trend of Romani children discontinuing education prematurely and the scarcity of community spaces underscore the urgency of the organizers’ mission. In light of these challenges, a cultural event that displays Romani culture in a positive light to destigmatize and normalize Roma culture can act as a much-needed catalyst for positive change in the community.
