Budapest’s urban beach kicks off summer with free opening weekend!
Change language:
Summer is officially arriving at Budapest’s very own urban beach. Lupa Beach, known as the Hungarian capital’s answer to the seaside, will open its gates for the 2025 season with a free three-day festival from 6 to 8 June, featuring concerts, DJs, and family-friendly programs.
The launch was initially planned for late May, but due to unpredictable weather forecasts, organisers postponed the opening by a week, turizmus.com writes. Visitors could already warm up for summer with a free concert by iconic Hungarian singer Mariann Falusi on 5 June, held at the Rosé Los Tiki Bar.
Music, activities, and a Caribbean vibe
Dubbed “Budapest’s seaside,” Lupa Beach has been growing in popularity and scale for the past decade. With imported white sand, swaying palm trees, and a vibrant mix of music, culture, and gastronomy, the location has become a summer staple for locals and tourists alike. From oysters to grilled sausages, beachgoers can enjoy a wide range of food options, alongside a jam-packed entertainment lineup.
According to Origo’s report, the free weekend begins Friday with daytime parties and kids’ workshops, followed by a variety of DJ performances across multiple venues:
- Saturday: Infragandhi DJ set at MyCar Beach
- Sunday: Bia Bréda at Lupacabana, Belushi at Waikiki
- Monday (Whit Monday): Serrano DJ set at The Lounge, and a smooth jazz guitar session by Zsolt Német at Divino
