The coolest Easter celebration in Hungary – PHOTOS

The award for the coolest Easter decoration goes to Csorna. The small town transforms its centre every season to attract more people and make them smile.

This winter and a year earlier in December, Santa arrived in a Cabrio Trabant, last summer we could have some rest in a little boat on a sandy beach, while in autumn, anyone who travelled through the town could climb into a huge vine barrel to take some cool pictures.

“This year’s autumn will mark the 5th year of dressing Csorna up with these creative installations,”

said Éva Burus, coordinator for Vilmos Park Kft. in charge of running the city. The original idea also came from her, and since the beginning, she has been the engine running the project.

The company is otherwise run by the municipality and is in charge of public spaces. Their work includes maintenance and cleaning of streets and squares, operating market places and parking lots.

“This creative idea came about for the 45th birthday of the town,

that is when we decided we should make the main square a little nicer and funnier. We bought some pumpkins and flowers; we had many old chairs and tables that we painted to create an autumn-inspired decoration. It was so successful that we knew right away it needed to be continued,” Éva Burus told sokszinuvidek.24.hu.

Csorna became a real example and inspiration, and many other settlements in the area decided to follow in its footsteps. More and more little towns and villages prepare decorations according to the season.

Their Easter installation will be followed by one for the summer. Inspiration can come from last year’s decoration of a sandy beach with a little boat and sunbathing chairs. The autumn installation is always related to the harvest season with barrels and pumpkins, followed by the time of Advent when Santa gets into his Trabant so we can see him pass by us while sitting in a little hut especially set up to sit down and have a chat. In the case it is not too cold, of course.
