The region’s biggest popular-music and community event: days of concerts, parties and faculty programmes in the heart of the city.
PEN has over half a century of history: every spring tens of thousands of students and locals attend the festival, where the biggest names of Hungarian popular music perform. Visitors can choose from a variety of cultural and fringe programs. Thanks to its cozy, family-friendly atmosphere, all-day cultural events, and magical venue, it brings the vibe of a house party.
Over the years, PEN has become a true tradition, so we encourage everyone to be a part of this experience. It’s guaranteed that this won’t be your last PEN-fest!
Beyond the concerts there are faculty days, sports competitions, the traditional costumed parade and parties into the night — discounted entry for UP students.
