44 years on the nice list...
Budafest began as a small festival in Downtown Buda to showcase local artists/craft vendors and quickly grew to what it is today. Successfully run for more than 25 years by many local residents and volunteers, the event grew to host 75+ vendors and hundreds of visitors. Adopted by the City of Buda in 2017, we plan to carry on the spirit of Budafest for many years to come.
Let's make it another 44 years!
Budafest is the place to be for holiday fun with the whole family. Join us on Friday night as we kick off the festival with a tree lighting ceremony and a small ornament market. Then come back Saturday to explore all that Budafest has to offer from craft vendors to family-friendly activities like a snow area to a night parade with a firework show.
Walk the festival grounds and behold the the art demonstrations, catch local performers, snag a picture with Santa and say hi to him as he rides down Main St. on the parade fire truck, or walk your dog dressed for the spirit of the holidays in the Reindog Parade--all for free!
There will be plenty of options to spend a little cash either by catching a thrill at the carnival, finding your treasure at the art market, adding your own touch at Santa's Artisan Workshop, or devouring a plate from the food market. No matter what, you are guaranteed to have plenty of Holiday fun!
