The story

Fishing on Orfu in Orfu

Founded in 2008 near Pecs by a basketball figure and a well-known indie rock singer, this lakeside festival spreads Hungarian alternative and rock music across seven small venues around the Orfu lakes, deliberately kept modest in scale. Swimming breaks between sets have become an informal part of the festival's daily rhythm for many regular attendees.

Basketball figure Laszlo Ratgeber and Kispal es a Borz singer Andras Lovasi co-founded Fishing on Orfu in 2008 near Pecs, in the lake district of Baranya county, with the explicit goal of building something smaller and more intimate than Hungary's mega-festivals.

02

The mystery stays covered

Stages sit directly on the shores of Orfu's small lakes, and swimming between sets has become an informal, near-official part of the festival's daily rhythm, a feature few other Hungarian music festivals of comparable size can genuinely offer
