The story

Ordogkatlan Festival in Nagyharsany/Villany Hills

A multi-site August festival spanning several Villany Hills settlements and wineries since 2008, combining theatre, dance, concerts, and family programming with an explicit mission to promote the region's cultural and economic life together. Shuttle transport between the busiest sites is often organized during peak hours given how spread out the participating venues are.

A stone quarry within the Nagyharsany Sculpture Park lends its name, Ordogkatlan, meaning devil's cauldron, to a festival that began in 2008 and now spreads across multiple settlements in the Villany Hills, including Nagyharsany, Kisharsany, Beremend, and Villanykovesd, plus winery venues at Mokos and Vylyan.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival deliberately spreads across an entire wine-region landscape, multiple villages and wineries rather than one central site, using a stone quarry called Ordogkatlan, devil's cauldron, within a sculpture park as its namesake venue

02

The mystery stays covered

Its dual mission of showcasing both cultural and economic values means winery producers and arts organizations share equal billing, a combination that gives visitors both performances and direct access to the region's wine businesses within the same weekend
