Cancun, Quintana Roo — The 17th Hungary in Cancun Cultural Festival will bring three days of free concerts, art exhibitions, film screenings and Hungarian cuisine to venues across the city, organizers announced.

The festival kicks off Wednesday, June 4 and Thursday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the University of the Caribbean, featuring performances that highlight Hungarian traditions. The program is organized by Dr. Emőke Ujj, a Hungarian-Mexican pianist and the festival’s founder.

“It’s a cultural festival centered on classical music, but there are always other surprises,” Ujj said. “This year we’ll have three nights at different venues: concerts, an exhibition, a food tasting and a Hungarian film at the University of the Caribbean. On June 6 we close with a gala at the City Theater with participants from various parts of Mexico and other countries.”

Since its inception, the festival has served as a living bridge between Hungarian culture and the Mexican Caribbean, promoting artistic, educational and diplomatic exchange through high-quality programming.

The closing gala will take place Saturday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the City Theater, offering an evening dedicated to strengthening cultural ties through music and art.

All events are free and open to the public.
