Eng­lish Folk Ex­po's 2021 In­ter­na­tion­al Part­ner Re­vealed as HUN­GARY

The international partner for English Folk Expo will be Hungary this year, represented by the biggest cultural institution for traditional culture, the Hungarian Heritage House. 

The institution delegates excellent Hungarian musical performers and industry representatives for the event. 

Hungary will be the highlight of the annual English Folk Expo which this year runs from the 21st until the 24th of October, the weekend before WOMEX, bringing a selection of promising and well known artists and a chance for the professional delegates to get an introduction to the folk, roots and acoustic music of the focus country as a whole.

Busós at the air­port

We are in the middle of the carnival season, and the Busójárás festival in Mohács is fast approaching, which will fill the city in southern Hungary with life for six days at the end of February. This folk custom, which marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring, will appear not only in Mohács this year, but also at the capital's airport.

Just gone fest­iv­alling

The festival season is in full swing, and our team is also joining the summer vacationers: the institution will be closed between July 28 and August 18, 2025.
