Hungarian Folk Shows are a mixture of folk dances and folk music. Lively shows to make your Budapest Christmas break more festive, though the dance choreographies themselves are not especially Christmassy (they are folk shows of traditional dances, beautiful clothes and nice music).

Hungarian Folk at Christmas

At the Budapest Christmas markets you will see lots of traditional Hungarian folk crafts along with recent designs of contemporary craftsmen. You can buy lovely little Christmas decors with Hungarian (folk) motifs or beautiful potteries and jewelries. Hungarian folk is in the limelight of Hungarian Christmases, which strive to preserve as much tradition as possible. Of course, outside the traditional Christmas markets you can get all sorts of commercial, international products (at shopping malls, or in fashion boutiques).

Budapest Christmas Concerts at St Anne’s Church for the fans of classical music in a century old amazing Italian baroque church. In 2012 you can enjoy an organ concert with cello, violin and vocals.

You can listen to Barnabas Balasi improvising on the organ of the St Anne’s Church in Budapest. He is also showing some of the effects that can be made with the organ. Most importantly, we love the acoustics. How about you?

Every Sunday in Otkert Bar in Budapest downtown (close to the Chain Bridge and the Gresham Palace in Zrinyi Street) you can pick a few quirky things at the Sunday Flea market.

Cadik, i.e. Pál Séfel started scratching once with the Anima Sound System, and has developed since then into one of the leading djs of our country. Jungle, d’n’b, hiphop – he does his best mainly in these tyles, while also B2B joint actions with dj Palotai, the Rewinds and the Sunday Sessions of his bring along wonderful eclectic sets.
