District IX., 11-12 Fővám Square – Budapest.
Finally Spring is knocking on our door to say move out and enjoy the ray of the sun, but more to it Budapest is holding for the first time „The Big Danube Bank Picnic”. This will be a 4 days adventure having much to see and taste at the „Bálna” – „Whale” Center, standing aside at the River Danube. This festival is basically filled with traditional Hungarian yummies, as the Hungarian fish soup – mild and bloody hot – as you like it and more dedicates. Of course after a fine meal the Hungarian hand craft beers and other beverages will spice up your day. During the 4 days festival exotic dishes will be to taste, just like the fried crocodile and another cheeky taste, the kangaroo stew. The granulity hunters: spices, wine, pálinka, sausage … you name it …. looking for Hungarian special flavors will surely find what they are looking for.
Be ready in the forthcoming 4 days to visit these rich programs … for the new starters to gain experience with the wooden spoon to cook their own tasteful delights will be an organized fish cooking competition. As for the culture … theater performances, pop concerts and a street party will fill the air, here just mentioning a couple of to be in interest.
On the first day … Thursday shoots off with Hungarian food of all kind with the prices reduced to 50%. This is connected in having once or twice/year the Hungarian tradition for now existing a couple of years, the so-called: „Gluttonous Thursday”. On Saturday – Ladies Day … celebrating the International Women’s Day where and when they will be enjoying the sophisticated surprises. Throughout Sunday the Eco-center from Poroszló will be holding a presentation on indigenous and the modern varieties of fish.
In addition to the Fish Bazaar at the „Bálna – Whale” an exhibition can be seen of hand-carved models of Budapest, several paintings and photographers. For the small kids a playroom, drawing-room and an exhibition titled „Sky” can be visited.
