 Budapest Parade -
formerly known as the Budapest love Parade, marks the official "end of summer"
carnival
event of Budapest. It is held on August 26th
(Saturday),
for the seventh time since it's inception. It
is waiting for you with new programs, events,
bands and more floats the at previous
Budapest Parades. They are also trying for a
new image which may make some people happy
and others sad... less smut and more
"real entertainment" for a change.
Though, knowing the local hunger for a pretty
site, there will be lots of girls on those
floats that parade down Andrassy street to
Heroes' Square. It is difficult to hide the
world renown beautiful Hungarian girls who
are everywhere, but for this day, converging
into this downtown area. The reshaping of the
list of performers and events is to open up alternative sorts of entertainment and music trends besides the usual
programs presented in the years past.
Organizers are hoping to
attract at least the same numbers 600,000
people who showed up last year to celebrate
the event. There will be a convoy of more than 50 floats and
tractor trailer pulled mobile stages set up
to roll past the festive crowds. Hungary’s top DJs are joined by several dozen world stars invited from all over Europe and
over seas. The parade at one point does end
with an
elaborate fireworks display, and then the fun really
begins for those that still have the energy.
Many clubs across the capital city offer
"post-parade parties" which last
until dawn!
So say good- bye to the Budapest summer with an authentic carnival feeling.
REMEMBER: Don't drink and
drive !! Hungary has 0% tolerance-blood level
!!
