20th of August in Hungary - fireworks

If you visit Budapest on the 20th of August, you will found a lot of people on the street celebrating, a lot of programs to entertain.
It is the celebration of the new bread and also Saint Stephen, the Hungarian king who they say turned the pagan nomadic tribes into a strong independent nation, by embracing Western culture and Christianity.

I was walking on the Margaret Bridge and I stopped to watch the magnificent fireworks above the Danube. This was the closing program of the day. This year it was really amazing! Nice folklore-based music, and beautifully coordinated firework

We catched the beautiful sunlight in the late afternoon for a couple of nice portraits.
