Europe’s biggest hun and turk fest organized in Bugac

The 6th Kurultaj Hungarian Tribal Assembly is organised in August at Bugac, where 27 representatives of „Hun and Turk consciousness” participate from 12 countries. As Travelo.hu reports, the world’s biggest yurt prepared from natural ingredients is present at the biggest traditional riding fest of Europe here, in Hungary.

Just as last year, the three-day festivities are held in Bugac 10-12th August, with a few hundred horse-riders and thousands of walkers introducing themselves. The first festivity has been organised in 2008 and has evolved so fast that more than a hundred of teams are coming to Bugac to celebrate the fest with the bests of the Carpathian Basin.

Tradition seekers are also coming from Transylvania, Transcarpathia, the Highlands and Southland of Hungary.

There are several interesting Hungarian traditions. At this festival, Hun-Turks can give insights of their cultures during the more than 50 programs to citizens of 27 nations. The most wanted and spectacular program at the festivities is the traditional demonstration of hordes, visited by Hungarians from Bratislava to Kézdivásárhely, from all around the Carpathian Basin. This event is not only a colourful drift of people but rather a demonstration dignified by tradition.
