On the 20th of August we celebrate our statefounder king Szent Istvan ( Saint Steven). We have a nice procession starting from the Basilica of Budapest, where a relic ( the right hand of the king) is carried around. We have street fairs of the Hungarian craftmen and a spectacular firework over the Danube river. On the same day in Debrecen there is an amasing parade with huge moving figures made of flowers. |
