Bánk is a tiny village in Nógrád County with its not-so-tiny Lake of Bánk in the middle. It has everything a tiny village built around a lake could need: a small store, a tobacco shop, a pizza place, a pub, some hotels, motels and a lakeshore eatery. Plus, the extremely friendly locals. Bánkitó Festival has been in town for 12 years, mostly around the Lakeshore and the Camp, though throughout the years, we ventured out to settle around the Reeds and the Meadow. Besides the lake, the small wooden cabins and the venues hiding around small clearings throughout the enclosing forest make Bánkitó, the festival it is.

We kindly ask you for responsible alcohol consumption outside of service hours. Moreover, the festival has strict rules about drug and alcohol consumption, it is prohibited to bring these to the festival’s territory. In Hungary it is also prohibited to consume drugs or have some in your possession. The same rules apply to our workcamps. Please respect these rules otherwise, we will have to ask you to leave the project immediately. The organisers of the festival also ask the guests to bring their own cups and glasses for the drinks provided during the festival, this way protecting the environment from the unnecessary waste that usually piles up during festivals by empty plastic cups and bottles.
