On St. Stephen’s Day, August 20, the courtyards around the Mátyás Church in Buda Castle come alive with flavors, sounds, and traditions during the Festival of Folk Arts. This is where culture meets gastronomy, offering visitors a true taste of Hungary.
In this video, you’ll find artisans showcasing their skills, from pottery and embroidery to woodcarving. Musicians fill the air with folk tunes, while food stalls serve Hungary’s most beloved treats, the crispy lángos and the sweet, freshly baked kürtőskalács.
With the iconic Mátyás Church as a backdrop, the Festival of Folk Arts in Buda Castle is an unforgettable celebration of heritage and hospitality, where locals and visitors share in centuries-old traditions.
