AHFA’s Core

Our most outstanding and emblematic event is the Festival of Folk Arts. This is a forum of living folk arts that we organise each year in the Buda Castle. More than seventy thousand people come to experience the power of the folk arts and admire the work of the masters. The Hungarian Festival Association has rated this parade of the heritage craft as an exceptional event in the category of folklore festivals.
