Creative videos celebrating the Day of Hungarian Poetry

We celebrate the Day of Hungarian Poetry on 11 April. In honour of this very special day, many people decided to recite their favourite poems in videos. Check out how many different people unite as one to celebrate Hungarian literature and culture. The list contains a variety of people from political ambassadors to prisoners.

Every year, on 11 April, we celebrate the Day of Hungarian Poetry (as opposed to National Poetry Day, which is held on 21 March). On this special day, we honour Hungarian poetry, and we celebrate the spectacular achievements of the excellent literary figures of our country.

Many people get inspired on this particular day to recite their favourite Hungarian poems. The British Ambassador to Hungary, Ian Lindsay, for example, is known for reciting poems in a video on this particular day. In 2017, he recited a poem by Gyula Juhász, and in 2016, he recited a poem by Attila József.
