Every year on St. Stephen’s Day, August 20, Budapest celebrates Hungary’s national holiday with grand festivities all across the city. As part of the celebrations, the Festival of Folk Arts brings traditional crafts and cultural programs to life.
One of the most magical locations is the Vajdahunyad Castle in City Park, where children can step into a medieval world. In this short video, you’ll see lively scenes of medieval crafts, playful workshops, and interactive games designed especially for kids. From trying out old tools to learning about forgotten trades, the festival creates an atmosphere where history comes alive for the youngest visitors.
The Vajdahunyad Castle itself adds a fairy-tale backdrop: turrets, towers, and hidden courtyards make the perfect stage for this journey back in time. Families strolling, children laughing, and skilled artisans guiding them, this is how Budapest celebrates St. Stephen’s Day with tradition and joy.
