PUCUNG - anti-corruption festival

The unique anti-corruption festival Pucung, which will take place from 15 to 17 May 2025 in Kasárne/Kulturpark, will once again bring a programme full of discussions, concerts, inspirational talks, humour and workshops.

The ninth edition comes with a clear message: change starts with courage. Because it is not enough to name the problems, you need to be able to face them and endure. Let's work hard, let's be clear about it! The festival will be supported by strong names from civil society, media and culture and will address topics that move Slovakia. Róbert Dobrovodský, Zuzana Petková, Marián Leško and Monika Tódová, prominent figures in public life, will take part. Activists, journalists, public administration experts, artists and comedians will meet in a pleasant atmosphere.

The third free festival day is open to the public and provides a space for dialogue and joint search for solutions to strengthen democracy through the promotion of active citizenship, the rule of law and democratic values, especially among young and first-time voters.
