The Budapest Autumn Festival will offer over 150 events at thirty venues between September 26 and October 10, the deputy mayor in charge of charge of cultural affairs said on Thursday.
Erzsébet Gy Németh told a press conference that the festival has been revamped to demonstrate that “experimentation, movement and change” were all part of culture. Events this year will be performed in the city’s first, second, eighth and ninth districts, she said, though the organisers plan to involve more and more districts in the years ahead.
The Budapest Autumn Festival was originally launched by the city council some thirty years ago.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian Tourism Agency (MTU) is launching a three-week ad campaign to promote the Hungarian presidency of the Visegrad Group by showcasing the unique cultural, natural and economic treasures of the region, the agency said on Thursday. Alongside the policy and diplomatic events connected with the presidency,
a row of concerts, exhibitions and design events will mark the Hungarian presidency in the autumn season,
MTU said.
Hungary took over the rotating presidency of the group comprising the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia on July 1. The motto of the presidency is “Recharging Europe”.
