Budapest Spring Festival (Budapesti Tavaszi Fesztival)

The Spring Festival in 2011 will be celebrating its 31st anniversary with renown musicians and artists. Since January 1996 the Budapest Festival Center Kht. has been the official organizer of various cultural events of the Municipality of Budapest. The three major annual festivals of Budapest—the Spring Festival, the Budapest Fair and the Autumn Festival have been organized, as the exclusive coordinator, by the Budapest Festival Center Kht.

The Budapest Spring Festival was launched a quarter of a century ago and since last year it has been officially classified in the top third of cultural festivals of international standing. This flattering classification was made by an independent professional body judging on the basis of strict principles, making its decision just as valuable as any prestigious award. It confirms that the series of events has fulfilled the hopes of its founders: with the attraction of a broad spectrum of the arts, an excellent selection of artists and works, a parade of world stars and young talents, it has made Budapest in early spring a popular destination for cultural tourism.
