National Gallop 2010 - Heroes’ Square- Andrássy road-’56-osok Square

From:

The National Gallop is a celebration of Hungarian town and villages. The National Gallop is a riding competition with a historic theme and is based on Hungarian traditions, making it a national cultural event of a dual aim: preserving old traditions and creating new ones. The centre of the events is the historical gallop race in which Hungarian settlements can enter and compete against each other. Between the races Hungarian history of war and horse riding will be revived by a spectacular show, including processions and historical parades. On the National Gallop Promenade located on Andrássy road the participating villages and towns will each have a pavilion in which they can introduce themselves. Participants can show the cultural, art or tourism themes most typical to their settlement. Visitors can find a craft fair, folk music performances and traditional country food and drinks. Events in the main locations will be accompanied by further cultural and entertainment programs. The event is free for all visitors. Further information: www.vagta.hu
