MEDI Mediawave dinar, new festival money ♦ Attention! The basic thought behind MEDI, the new festival cash is a strong cultural and community experience with environmental thinking in its background.

BARTER Don't just be a dot in the crowd and audience but be part of the community! If you want to avoid catering service and support environmental thinking, use home-made barter things like sausage, bacon, vine, pálinka, honey, cake, etc. to exchange goods with friends and other festival visitors. And also we'll place a basket during every performance so you could honour the experience the concert has given you.
