Buda Castle

Mesterségek Ünnepe (Festival of Folk Arts) is Hungary's most significant folk art festival, held every August at the Budavári Palota (Buda Castle Palace) in connection with the celebration of the foundation of the Hungarian state.

At the event, Hungarian and international craftspeople present traditional trades and their techniques — such as pottery, wood carving, and blacksmithing. Visitors can not only admire and purchase the unique creations but also try their hand at making something themselves in the interactive workshops. The lively fair is rounded out by colorful folk music and folk dance performances, children's programmes, and traditional Hungarian food and drink.

This year, the castle will also once again host the Protestáns Sokadalom (Protestant Gathering), where the Reformed, Lutheran, Baptist, and Methodist churches hold services and organize various musical and community programmes.
