20th of August is always a very special celebration in Hungary. Think of it as huge summer closing party which has been extremely precious for the locals for thousands of years.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of our oldest national holidays, when we celebrate the foundation of our state, the state\u2019s founder Saint Stephen, and the \u201cfestival of new bread\u201d. It\u2019s not only a national holiday, but also a state occasion, so numerous official events also take place on this day. The swearing-in of new military officers, water and air shows, ceremonial speeches and the spectacular firework show are all among the traditional programmes; but more recently, a number of other festivals have come to be associated with this red-letter day.<\/p>\n
