The two highlights of Budapest's cultural calendar are the Spring Festival (www.festivalcity.hu/btf) in late March and the Autumn Festival (www.festivalcity.hu/bof) from late September to late October. Both offer music, ballet and drama, including star acts from abroad.
The ten-day Budapest Film Festival is usually in February, while the first major national holiday of the year is on March 15, when Budapest decks itself out in flags and cockades in honour of the 1848 Revolution, and there are patriotic gatherings at the Petőfi statue and the National Museum. Easter is marked by church services and outbreaks of locsolkodás (splashing) – when men and boys visit their female friends to spray them with cologne and receive a painted egg or pocket money in return. The fall of Communism has put paid to grandiose parades on April 4 and May 1, but May Day remains a national holiday, with a big party in the Városliget organized by the trade unions. In early June Vörösmarty tér is packed with bookstalls for the very popular Book Week (Könyvhét), and there are long queues for the book signings by top authors. Politicians have now joined the book circus, competing for who can attract the largest numbers of followers coming to get their book autographed

While many theatres close down for the season, there are plenty of outside concerts and events over the summer, as well as the Hungarian Grand Prix, usually held in mid-August. World Music Day (a French invention that celebrates music across the world, not to be confused with "world music") is held on June 21, while the Budapest Bucsú or Farewell (www.festivalcity.hu/bucsu) , first held in 1991 to celebrate the departure of the last Russian troops from Hungary, takes place on the last weekend of June, with open-air music, dance and events across the city. Gay Pride Budapest, a four-day festival taking place in late June or early July, is the largest event in the gay calendar, culminating in a march down Andrássy út to the Danube. The Bridge Festival (Hid Fesztval; www.festivalcity.hu/hidunnep) at the end of June commemorates the building of the Chain Bridge in the 1840s. The bridge itself is closed to traffic, and there is a river cavalcade and general festivities. A new development in 2004 saw the bridge closed to traffic and returned to the people at weekends in July and August, which the authorities say they will continue to do.

Another new summer feature is the Budapest Beach (Budapest Plazs; www.budapestplazs.hu) ; for most of August a kilometre and a half of the Pest riverside opposite Margit sziget, from Margit Bridge northwards, is closed to traffic and turned, like its Paris forebear, into a beach. The biggest music event of the summer is the Sziget Festival, one of the largest open-air rock and pop gatherings in Europe, held on an island north of the city in early August (www.sziget.hu) . The BudaFest opera festival takes place in the opera house during the summer recess, and at the end of August the Jewish Festival (www.jewishfestival.hu) attracts an international range of artists presenting classical, jazz and klezmer music and exhibitions. St Stephen's Day (August 20), honouring the founder of the Hungarian state, occasions day-long celebrations at the basilica, a craft fair and folk dancing at different venues in the Vár, another river parade and finally a spectacular display of fireworks at 9pm from barges in the river between the Erzsébet and Margit bridges – check at Tourinform for the precise location so that you can get the best vantage point. Up to one million people gather on the river bank, and the traffic jam that follows the display is equally mind-blowing. If you want to eat out that night, you should book a place well in advance, as all the restaurants are packed. Soon after is the Budapest Parade on August 25, a mini version of London's Notting Hill Carnival, when a procession of floats set up by radio stations and clubs parades through the city, ending up on Dózsa György út by City Park for a rave into the early hours.

September heralds the start of the grape harvest, marked in Budapest by the annual Wine Festival, which fills Vörösmarty tér with stalls – and merriment, as the wine flows. As the Autumn Festival winds down and trees in the parks turn russet and gold, it is nowadays permitted to honour the anniversary of the 1956 Uprising. October 23 was a taboo anniversary for decades, then suddenly accorded cathartic, televised recognition; however, interest now seems to be waning among the majority of Hungarians who are too young to have experienced the Uprising, while others find their memories too painful to want to reawaken them.

On December 6, children hang up Christmas boots for "little Jesus" to fill, and people prepare for the Christmas Eve feast of jellied carp or turkey. Festivities build up towards New Year's Eve, when revellers gather on the Nagykörút, engaging in noisy battles with toy trumpets at the junction with Rákóczi út.
