Budapest Parade - formerly known as the Budapest love Parade, marks the official "end of summer" carnival event of Budapest. It is held on August 26th (Saturday), for the seventh time since it's inception. It is waiting for you with new programs, events, bands and more floats the at previous Budapest Parades. They are also trying for a new image which may make some people happy and others sad... less smut and more "real entertainment" for a change. Though, knowing the local hunger for a pretty site, there will be lots of girls on those floats that parade down Andrassy street to Heroes' Square. It is difficult to hide the world renown beautiful Hungarian girls who are everywhere, but for this day, converging into this downtown area. The reshaping of the list of performers and events is to open up alternative sorts of entertainment and music trends besides the usual programs presented in the years past.
Organizers are hoping to attract at least the same numbers 600,000 people who showed up last year to celebrate the event. There will be a convoy of more than 50 floats and tractor trailer pulled mobile stages set up to roll past the festive crowds. Hungary’s top DJs are joined by several dozen world stars invited from all over Europe and over seas. The parade at one point does end with an elaborate fireworks display, and then the fun really begins for those that still have the energy. Many clubs across the capital city offer "post-parade parties" which last until dawn!
So say good- bye to the Budapest summer with an authentic carnival feeling.
