August 20th national holiday events

August 20th is one of Hungary’s most important national holidays, commemorating King Stephen, the founder of the state. This day celebrates the birth of the Hungarian state and its thousand-year-old Christian traditions. Events, parades and cultural programs take place throughout the country, culminating in one of Europe’s largest fireworks displays lighting up Budapest over the Danube, which attracts many foreign visitors every year.
