Greetings by Kálmán Magyar,

The PONTOZÓ
Festival is a showcase of Hungarian performing ensembles
from North America. The first festival was organized in 1975 in
New Jersey. This year's festival commemorates the 30th
Anniversary. The event's main goal is to bring together the best
Hungarian folk dance and folk music enthusiasts working on this
continent and help them in their dedicated work by allowing them
to learn from each other and from knowledgeable experts. The
Festival also gives a chance to the audience to witness a
