Sziget Festival offers a diverse music festival with an extraordinary line-up of musicians from across the globe. Each year the festival attracts 400,000 visitors who are also able to enjoy another chief aspect of the Sziget Festival—its environmentally conscious model for ‘green’ living and the organizations that promote it. The importance of protecting the environment and the environmentally-conscious way of life from the point of view of the Earth and its inhabitants seems to be obvious to everyone today. From this conviction, the organizers of Sziget Festival have always considered an exceptionally important task to protect the flora and fauna of the festival’s scene, this unique green area in Budapest and when necessary the rehabilitation of the land.

In order to achieve success, a new way of thinking needs to be ”implanted to people’s minds” and Sziget Festival, which attracts an emmense crowd during its one-week program is the perfect occassion for this. The Festival’s organizers have been maintaining a very good relationship with various ”green” organizations for years. Today, Zöld Udvar (Green Courtyard) has become a little town within the Festival, where different enviromentalist groups can introduce themselves. Besides the national green organizations, the international Green Peace has been present at the Festival for years. The mutual efforts of the organizers and the environmentalist leagues prove that Sziget Festival fulfills a pioneer and determining key role in the popularization of environment-conscious thinking.
