Festival vibes in Budapest - join me for the weekend!

Summer-like weather, gastronomy and wine, cool atmosphere, culture and heritage - these are all combined this weekend in the frame of two great festivals. I already visited the events and I can't wait to return back, here is my summary for you:

Rosalia - Rosé and sparkling wine festival

This is the place to be on Saturday evening, who can resist a glass of delicious wine? This festival became a tradition already, it's organized in the lovely City Park, just behind the Vajdahunyad Castle, lots of green space, gorgeous surroundings and great city vibes.

 
There are programs and live concerts all day, you can check it out here. Popular Hungarian wine producers offer their best selections from refreshing white wine, rosé and sparkling types. You should buy a glass at the entrance, it costs 1500 HUF, there are no other entry fees for the event. My favorite wineries for Hungarian sparkling wine is Garamvári, you can taste 76 exhibitors' offer this year.

At the food court street food is available: sausages, hamburgers, fries, pizzas. The event is mainly focused on Hungarian quality wine. Kids are also welcomed in the park, however don't expect any special programs for them! But if you bring some toys with you, it can be a nice family event for the weekend.

All in all it's a chilling program with friends or family, grab a glass, enjoy the atmosphere and explore the best wineries in Hungary!

Székely Festival - Tradition at the Millenáris park

This pleasant park next to the Mammut Mall welcomes the visitors all weekend. Székely Land moves to Budapest for a few days. Entrance fee is 500 HUF, for children under 12 it's free of charge. You know that I love Transylvania and I visit it every year, it's like second home to me. The people, the culture and the handicraft is unique, there are still some parts where I feel like I'm preserved in time,  it's an amazing world full of treasures. I was happy to be part of the Székely Festival this year, listening to folk music, tasting miccs (sausages), puliszka (ground cornmeal porridge) and kürtőskalács (chimney cake): Stop counting the calories now, it's time to taste the best of Székely Land!

Folk music and live concerts are on, morning time children programs are organized with tales and music. A good friend of mine from Tusnádfürdő is also performing on Saturday evening, I'll definitely be back at the festival. In the grand hall you can buy precious handcrafted goods from Székely region: clothes, hats, honey, porcelain, home-made jams, toys from wood, lots of amazing stuff. I bought a jar of honey and a straw hat for summer. Great deal!

I hope you are able to feel the atmosphere and the vibes of these festivals through my article! I'll be at the Székely event on Sunday as well. Use this beautiful summer-like weekend for special experiences! See you there!
