About this event
Hungary's biggest craft festival occupies the streets of the Buda Castle Quarter across the St Stephen's Day long weekend. Hundreds of potters, smiths, weavers and instrument makers demonstrate their work, with folk music, dance houses and regional food running alongside. It is the traditional-crafts counterpart to the state ceremonies happening across the river.
Why we picked it
