Event: Hungary - Paks

International Gastroblues Festival

When:	1 - 6 Jul 2008 (annual)
Where:	Paks

This annual gathering in the town of Paks (about 60 miles south of Budapest) devotes itself to the joys of music, wine and gastronomy. On the music side, blues, jazz and rock are the order of the day, courtesy of musicians from Hungary and beyond, while the National Wine Enthusiasts' Convention takes care of the food and drink side.

First held in 1993, this event has become a must for those who enjoy feeding the (musical) mind as well as the stomach! Alongside eminent cellars of different historical Hungarian wine regions, cooks and chefs compete in regional cooking competitions, while concerts take place throughout the town.

Please visit the festival website for a detailed programme of events, some events of which start four days before the main festivities.
