The highlight of the festivities will be the traditional evening fireworks display and drone show over the Danube, Zoltán Kovács said.
The St. Stephen’s Day celebrations in Budapest will offer visitors hundreds of programmes across 19 locations on both sides of the Danube, Kovács said.
Ferenc Toóh, chief executive of NUVU, the company organising the August 20 fireworks show, said 46,000 pyrotechnic effects will be launched from Liberty, Elisabeth, and Margaret bridges as well as river barges and pontoons during the 30-minute display.
“This will be one of the world’s biggest fireworks shows, not just because of the pyrotechnics that will be used, but also in terms of the length of the display area,” Kovács said.
