Budapest’s most famous Christmas fair to be held in 2022 but will be very different
Change language:
Budapest Brand, the previous organiser of Hungary’s probably most famous Christmas fair, did not receive the permission of the local government of Budapest’s 5th district.
Budapest’s central Christmas Fair to be held
According to hvg.hu, in 2022, the organisers of the Advent Bazilika event will run the Christmas Fair on Vörösmarty Square. That is because the leadership of the local government could not reach an agreement with Budapest Brand, the fair’s organisers last year. Meanwhile, Advent Bazilika got the approval in principle.
In a statement they said they conducted fair negotiations with the Budapest Brand. However, the company could organise the fair only if they signed a two-year-long contract, which the local government refused to do. The local government added they wanted an agreement that serves the locals’ interests and facilitates mutual satisfaction and success.Â

Professional organisers
The Advent Bazilika event has been chosen as Europe’s best twice. This year, the event’s organisers will set up and run the Christmas fair on Budapest’s iconic Vörösmarty Square.
Will boycott it. The Christmas Market tradition is now a gift to be given from ONE Fidesz politician to another. They won’t get my money anymore. Incredibly cynical and un-Christian attitude that Fidesz party has; in everything.
