Spring into Budapest in 2008
In many parts of the world it might still feel like winter is dragging its feet, but inevitably spring will arrive--and with it, the annual Budapest Spring Festival. As the grand old city of Budapest gradually steals tourists from Prague, its cultural offerings are getting more and more attention on the international scene, and with good reason.
This year the Spring Festival kicks off on March 14, 2008 and runs through until March 30. With dance, operetta, jazz, folk music, theater and orchestra concerts, every arts lover can find an event to love. There are also a few performances labeled "crossover" which seem to have an eclectic mix of stuff going on.
But if crossover is still too mainstream for you, don't forget the Budapest Fringe Festival on the final weekend of the Spring Festival: That's where the really way-out artists play.
