What do Hungarians celebrate on August 20?

Budapest Fireworks on Aug 20 HK

Budapest Fireworks on Aug 20

August 20 is the Magyar national holiday, the fireworks and all the Budapest events on this day are a triple celebration: we are here to celebrate the birth of the Hungarian State (our Constitution).

Secondly, this is also the day of the first Hungarian saint: the first Hungarian King, St Stephen (Szent Istvan), who turned the less civilised Magyar tribes wandering for many centuries into settled down Christians (with many bloody sacrifice, as you will see the Gellert Monument – Bishop Gellert was thrown from the Gellert Hill by the pagans…).

Thirdly, August 20 is also the day when we celebrate the birth of the new bread. Yes, and the new bread is consecrated with great promenades and festivities in the Buda Castle on the Castle Hill of Budapest (it is a must do to visit the Buda Castle for its special celebrations before your river Danube night cruise).

Budapest Fireworks Cruises are just as popular and overbooked as Christmas and New Year Cruises on the river Danube in Budapest. We would suggest making an advance booking when you have purchased your flight tickets to make sure that you have the cruise of your choice (and perhaps window seats too).

Groups – Discounts and Bookings on Budapest Fireworks Cruises

Groups – if you wish to make a group booking for a Budapest Fireworks Cruise please let us know via

email at info [at] budapestrivercruise [dot] com.

The cruises are booked up very quickly by early August every year. By mid August there is little chance that a whole group can be seated on a given cruise. Also, you may wish to book your private cruises ahead too (normally higher hourly rates for boat rental fees, docking fees etc. apply as this is the most celebrated day of Hungary’s history throughout the year.

    Are there bathrooms aboard all the dinner cruise ships?
    Are there assigned tables/seats for the dinner cruises?

    • Budapest River Cruise August 13, 2017

      Dear Suzi and Steve,
      yes, there are toilets on board of all dinner cruises including the Budapest Fireworks Cruises on the river Danube (which is a very fortunate thing as the riverside is packed with thousands of onlookers where the temporary public toilets can be used).
      The tables are assigned by the cruise manager before the cruise, some dinner cruises offer your own table (piano dinner cruise, folk dinner cruise, a la carte candlelit dinner cruise) while others may offer a table shared with others (Gypsy Band & Buffet dinner cruise).
      Have a fascinating Aug 20 in Budapest

    I wonder if these cruises are only available during the holiday festival and other events. Since it also doesn’t because services that you have mentioned is something every one like to have. Keep it up. For more information visit us @ https://www.rent-boat-dubrovnik.com/private-boat-tours/
