The celebration held in Bugac aims to commemorate the Hungarian ancestors and the great figures of Hungarian history with different traditionalist programmes.
The Day of Ancestors festival has become a bond between the Hungarians of the Carpathian Basin. The all-national collaboration has made it possible to create a new tradition with the biennial festival, which honours the founding fathers of the nation and the greatest figures of Hungarian history.
The organisers of the event believe that the collective national identity is an indispensable part of the life of each nation. Moreover, the conservation and presentation of the real traditions of the Hungarians are the most important earnests of the preserving of the Hungarian nation. One of the most important bonds connecting the nation is the knowledge of our history and the celebration of the greatest historic events.
