Budapest Spring Festival

The Budapest Spring Festival was established in 1980 with the goal of reinvigorating Hungarian tourism. The festival made its debut in the European cultural scene in 1981 with the renewed version of Béla Bartók’s three stage performances.

Since then, the audience can enjoy the arts program series and the festival atmosphere for more than two weeks in the capital city. Classical music, jazz, and opera performances, dance nights, theatre performances, and exhibitions, as well as outdoor events await city residents and tourists longing for culture.

It is now a matter of prestige to visit the Budapest Spring Festival or perform at it. It is no coincidence that it appears on the websites of several word famous celebrities that they were guest performers at the Budapest Spring Festival. Our philosophy is to show the values of Hungarian culture to the whole world, and not only on a high quality level, but also in a way that is enjoyable for the public. Furthermore, to present the outstanding personalities, young talents, and brand new artworks of the international cultural life in Hungary, and to entertain the public with spectacular and lively actions.
