International Cultural Festival, Danube Carnival, Budapest, 6 - 14 June

• 10 Apr 2025 2:04 PM

The Danube Carnival, with a history spanning over a quarter of a century, returns once again to enchant audiences with its vibrant and colourful international cavalcade.

From the organisers:

The Carnival is a unique colour patch in the cultural life of Budapest that, while incorporating our homeland’s rich folk dance and music heritage, also brings the most different types of folklore traditions from around the world.

This year we evoke the original carnival vibe to several points of Budapest with the help of national ensembles and music bands as well as guest performers from abroad. Adult, youth and children groups will all represent the professional, traditional and amateur folkdance movements.
 

The Gala at the Margaret Island Open Air Stage crowns the series of programmes; we can view the productions of our guest performers in the World Carnival.

The second part will feature Hungarian ensembles joining the Duna Art Ensemble and the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble on the occasion of the European Union presidency with an unmatched and special dance production titled Ode to Joy.

We invite You to join the hundreds of Hungarian and foreign dancers and musicians engaged in tradition and innovation, style and smile!
