The story behind it
Szolnok’s peaceful riverside culture is tied to the natural cycle of the Tisza. The emergence of millions of mayflies each summer has inspired folklore and is seen as a symbol of renewal. The festival embraces this local phenomenon to foster community spirit and attract visitors with concerts (in 2025, from June 17 to 21 ). Featuring Hungarian pop, rock and folk acts, it has become a part of Szolnok’s modern identity.
