So said … The Paloznaki Jazz Picnic is held every year since 2012 at the village of Paloznak, one of the nicest villages on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. The event turned from a small jamboree held in the village into a 3-day, 4-stage, 40-concert festival, and from 2015 it became a pillar member of the Balaton event series. Added “Q” “You no longer have to go to Montreux if you want to listen to high-quality performers; Grammy-winning Judith Hill who will perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival this year, and the Lehmann Brothers played there last year. The founding idea was a relationship between good wines, charming atmosphere and good music, aswell the owners of a popular local winery. The quality event near Lake Balaton offering an alternative to mass festivals. Besides the best Hungarian and international performers, it is an important aspect to provide quality gastronomy, offer local products, and pay attention to sustainability.
