About this event
The Carpathian basin's largest folk-craft festival takes over the Buda Castle district for four days, with hundreds of artisans demonstrating pottery, weaving and traditional trades alongside folk concerts, dance and children's workshops. This year's pottery-themed edition is free to enter as part of the St Stephen's Day programme - a rare waiver for what's usually a ticketed festival.
Why we picked it
Four days of a normally-ticketed craft festival thrown open for free, right in the heart of Buda Castle.
Free entry
Official festival site states it is free to visit this year as part of the St Stephen's Day event series.
