We are in for a sight never seen before on 20 August in the Hungarian capital, Budapest.

Due to the long weekend of 20 August, programmes can be expected from Saturday (17 August) onwards. This year, a 4-day series of events will celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the state, the Government Information Centre (KTK) said in response to a question from Magyar Nemzet.
They stressed that they are preparing a more spectacular fireworks display than ever before.
They pointed out that St Stephen’s Days’ programmes will feature the usual mini-festivals, and musical, cultural and gastronomic programmes at 19 venues.
For years, the St. Stephen’s Day series of events has been the most popular summer programme for Hungarian families with free festivals, concerts and other outdoor events serving the summer recreation and experience of Hungarian and foreign guests visiting the capital.
