Music, culture and art festival with a social purpose in Arló, Hungary
June 13-14, 2025

Our mission

Udvar Festival is a platform that supports understanding, knowledge, and reconciliation, aimed at facilitating the meeting of people from different backgrounds.

Its goal is to shed new light on the Roma community and its art, thereby helping to gain social recognition. With our initiative, we aim to play an active role in the fight against societal prejudice and polarization.

We believe that all this is essential for the successful and balanced present and future of the Roma children and young people at the center of our project.

Support us

Our goal is that children and locals can participate free of charge in concerts, music, art and educational sessions to which they have limited access due to their place of residence, social background or ethnicity.

Since we only cover the costs of the organization with a small amount of tender and donation-type resources, we ask for your support so that the festival can be organized with the richest and most colorful program possible.

The organizers do not receive an honorarium.
