Destination story
A place with its own rhythm.
Situated in the centre of Hungary, Kecskemét is a city of remarkable cultural depth. As the 'capital of the Puszta', it is renowned for its magnificent Hungarian Secessionist (Art Nouveau) architecture, its status as the birthplace of composer Zoltán Kodály, and its deep connection to the country’s agricultural heritage, earning it the nickname the 'Orchard of Hungary'.
For WOFA participants, Kecskemét offers an authentic and welcoming setting for an international festival. It provides a unique opportunity to perform in a city celebrated for its musical and artistic legacy, while also experiencing the traditional folk culture and vast, open landscapes of the surrounding Great Hungarian Plain. A visit here is an immersion into the very soul of Hungary.
