Debrecen Flower Carnival 15 - 21 August 2014
The Flower Carnival is a week-long festival that takes places in Debrecen, Hungary's second largest city in the east of the country. The exquisite flower cars that take part in the parade on 20 August are exhibited throughout the city during the week, so that visitors can see some of the most amazing blooms and creative designs of the floats. The history of the Flower Carnival dates back to the beginning of the last century when the Debrecen Civil Bicycle Association organised a bicycle competition on the association's new field. The highlight of the competition – reported the newspaper of the age – was a large-scale flower corso. Now flower cars and dance groups come from all over the world to take part. The city more than doubles in size and visitors are treated to lots of entertainment programmes and a wonderful party atmosphere. For more info visit www.iranydebrecen.hu
Jewish Festival 31 August - 17 September 2014

Now it's a firm favourite in Hungary and around the world, attracting many renowned artists to perform at several venues around the city. It's a chance for visitors to understand and learn the traditions of the thousands-of-year-old culture and be entertained by one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe.
