If you’d like to take home traditional Hungarian souvenirs, the fairs at the festival are a good place to buy them. This year woodcarving will be highlighted. Wood carvers who follow traditional skills but also keep abreast of the times will introduce their trade. Besides the workshops and fairs there are many other programs to entertain you: artists from all around the world perform folk dances and folk music. Every evening you can dance to a different nation’s folk music. Children won’t be bored either, there’ll be plenty programs for them as well: puppet-shows, story-telling. In the children’s dance hall they can learn dancing in a playful way. You won’t stay hungry because gastronomy of the Hungarian countryside will also be introduced. The event is timed to coincide with our national holiday, St. Stephen’s day on 20th August. On this day craftsmen will have their own parade to revive an old tradition. They’ll also celebrate the new bread with the ceremony of the so called “blessing of the bread”. Travel back in time with the Festival of Folk Arts: come and experience the atmosphere of old fairs held in the Buda Castle!
