From this Sunday until the 23rd of December, Várkert Bazár will organise its annual Advent Celebration for the fourth time, with exciting and fascinating programmes for every generation.

According to magyaridok.hu, the director of Várkert Bazár, Csaba Gyutai, reported that the most fascinating spectacle of the Advent Celebration will be the living Bethlehem every Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00 o’clock. He also emphasised that lots of handcrafting programmes, workshops, playhouses and concerts for children and adults will await the arriving guests.

The Advent Celebration will be opened by a Hungarian band called Irie Maffia on Sunday.
