Hundreds of people, young and old, visited the 2nd MEDIAWAVE Picnic on the bank of the River Danube.

Piquant and provoking exhibition opened on the very first day of the MEDIAWAVE Festival.

The music section of the MEDIAWAVE Festival opened the event at Saturday night with two performances different in character and intensity. Before the official opening ceremony, in the University Concert Hall (former Synagogue), the Cuban Omar Sosa Trio played high level, correct latin jazz and after the Parallel Culture Award ceremony the Astillero from Argentina showed again what the 21st century fiery, turbulent tango should be like.
