There will be no Budapest Parade this year due to financial problems. The event was free of charge and was financed only by sponsors, however sponsorship alone cannot cover the cost of the Parade anymore.

The flamboyant street festival similar to Berlin’s Love Parade has grown into a popular event that attracted many people, DJ-s, pop stars both from Hungary and outside the country.

The Bónusz Festival, Hungary’s largest electronic music festival (venue: Népstadion Kert) will take over and incorporate many elements from the Parade’s planned program.
