Dear Visitors, Citizens of Vác, and Guests,
Every summer for the past 17 years, at the sound of the trumpets, we start our biggest cultural event of the year, the VÁCI VILÁGI VIGALOM (VÁC WORLD FESTIVAL). This traditional event of our city is known not only in Hungary, but beyond our borders as well. It attracts thousands of people, and the number grows each year. This year we organize the festival for the 17th time.
We hope you will enjoy your time at this event, which will take place in 14 different locations throughout the city and offers over 90 programs. I hope you will have many pleasant moments to remember. Enjoy your time at the festival!
Dr. János Bóth
Mayor of Vác, Member of Parliament
