Invitation: 'Welcome To  Summer Festival', Budapest , 7 - 9 June
Update: Today the organisers confirmed this event will go ahead despite the flooding situation. "A festival in the heart of Budapest for free?" Yes, that’s right. The local government of Lipótváros (V district) is organizing the traditional and increasingly popular Belvárosi Festival (BelFeszt) between the 7th and 9th of June.

Deák Ferenc utca, Erzsébet tér, Szabadság tér, and Zrínyi utca are the perfect spots for events like BelFeszt, because we all like to combine a pleasant downtown walk with a lively festival.

For expats with children, your little ones won’t get bored either thanks to playhouses and the numerous programs designed just for kids.

As for the adult entertainment, there will be fashion shows, folk dance performances, film screenings and long list of festtial events.

Concerts start from the early afternoon with a wide range of musical styles ranging from jazz, rock, pop, and folk, featuring big local names like Besh o droM, Irie Maffia, and The Carbonfools.

BelFeszt is the place to be for those of us who love the buzz of this modern city, while appreciating Hungarian traditions.

Three days, three generations, and guaranteed fun!
