During the festival you can walk across the bridge from the Danube Promenade to the Clark Adam Square, while enjoying the various cultural events and the wonderful vista.

You can listen to wind orchestras, music performances and even jazz concerts. Craftsmen (woodcarvers, embroiderers, lacemakers, potters, leather workers) present their traditional, rare skills.

They even teach you the basics of their trade if you’re adventureous enough. A good opportunity to get a glimpse of the culture, handicraft and folklore of Hungary’s different regions.

Bring your children as well, because there’ll be plenty of programmes for them: face-painting, bicycle rickshaws, toy catapults and they can also learn handicraft skills.

Tearoom and ice cream parlours provide for refreshments on the Buda end of the bridge.
Here you can watch the making of the special Hungarian (Transylvanian, to be precise) pastry, kürtös kalács (hollow, cylinder-shaped pastry with different coatings: sugar, walnut) and taste it freshly. I especially liked it because I haven't made this pastry yet. I thought it's too complicated. Now I might try making it.
