At a press conference on November 12, Amina Vassné Bojta—Deputy CEO for Culture and Tourism Castle Headquarters (Várkapitánság), presented the festive highlights of the Buda Castle District. She drew attention to the essential family-friendly programs at the Várkert Bazár (Castle Garden Bazaar). As it undergoes renewal, the Buda Castle District once again offers numerous venues for visitors to get into the spirit of the Advent season. She noted that the Várkert Bazár’s festive program series will feature not only prominent figures from the Hungarian popular music scene but also unique performances spanning world music, symphonic works, and folk music.
The lineup includes, among others, the band Quimby – celebrating their 35th anniversary, the Kerekes Band with a special jubilee symphonic concert, as well as Andrea Szulák, ZÓRA, Deva, and StEFREM.
On December 6, an all-day event awaits families at the Várkert Bazár, featuring concerts by the Kolompos Ensemble and the Klárisok band. Children can take part in arts and crafts workshops, enjoy interactive games, and even meet Santa Claus and his elves in person. The Deputy CEO announced that the Terrace of the Fishing Children in the Buda Castle District will also be decked out for the holidays: starting November 26, visitors can enjoy an atmospheric Advent fair, hot beverages, and charcoal-grilled Christmas delicacies, as well as a hand-carved wooden nativity scene. The offerings are further enhanced by an outdoor exhibition titled “Winter in the City” – created in collaboration with the National Széchényi Library, which brings to life the winter daily routines and festive traditions of Budapest from times past, displayed along the ramp leading to the Gloriette at the Várkert Bazár. It was also noted that the glass hall of the Citadella will feature Christmas decorations; it is well worth a visit to take a stroll and admire the evening lights of the capital. The historical exhibition housed within the former cannon tower will also be open to the public throughout December.
