Itinerary

The intention of our invitation is to celebrate life, love, and friendship through dance and music. The Festival light motive is to present the cultural tradition of different countries and regions and to provide an opportunity for the members of groups to get together and create long-lasting friendships.

The International Folk Dance Festival “Budafest” is a non-competitive festival of traditional and modern dances. At the festival may participate in children and youth folklore dance groups, modern dance groups, instrumental groups, choirs, as well as groups and performers from other art styles. The age of participants is not limited.

During the Festival each Group will have 1 performance which will be organized in a Concert Hall where groups can perform either with live music or CD. According to the number of participants, the minutes of the performance will be defined.

Every Group will be rewarded with a Certificate for taking part in the Festival.

2. BOAT TRIP (1h tour) - Budapest without the Danube would not be Budapest, and whoever tries it once will never forget the magic of admiring the view while being gently rocked on the rippling waves. But taking everything in from the deck of a boat makes the experience even more special.
