Spring Fair On Vörösmarty Square Budapest
- 11 Apr 2014 4:10 AM
Folk art and traditional material culture rendezvous with modern design and the latest trends on Vörösmarty Square: this is the Spring Fair, which not only offers a chance to meet the craftsmen in person, but cultural refreshments as well. The performers on the weekends include Viki Havay and Fakutya, Vera Jónás and the Mi Van, Cicus band.
Over and above the special products, the fair now also highlights the craftsmen. We can learn about their relationship to their trade, how they found their way back to traditional artefacts and discovered new uses for handcraft, what their motivations are and how they gained their experiences.
This fair, in other words, is as much about the people as the goods they make.
On Sunday, there will be a pottery competition between 12 am – 6 pm, where the categories in which the craftsmen take on one another include the smallest and the largest object made on a wheel.
It will be up to the audience to pick the winners.
The fair is open daily from 10 am till 9 pm, until 21 April.
