This year’s St. Stephen's Day fireworks display, which was rescheduled to 27 August due to the uncertain weather was one of the highlights of the summer again. The spectacular show recounted the great moments of Hungarian history through the dream of a young child, with 40,000,000 pyrotechnic effects and 600 drones to dazzle the audience. Based on figures, both the four-day event and the fireworks display had a noticeable tourism impact. Over the weekend of 20 August, 104,000 guest nights were reserved in Budapest, while hundreds of thousands of visitors watched the show on location on 27 August.
Based on the situational assessment of the Operational Group at 20:00, there are no circumstances that could affect the festive fireworks.
The Operational Group responsible for the festive fireworks display began its work today at 16:00. On the basis of the information gathered and evaluated so far, it can be concluded that there are no circumstances that would call into question the celebratory flypast of fighter jets at 19.30 and the fireworks display at 21.00.
This year's fireworks display on 27 August promises to be an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike. The audience will witness a miracle, promises actor-director Barnabás Réti, the author of the fireworks story and one of the creators of the artistic concept.
The official partners of St Stephen's Day will be open before, during and after the fireworks on 27 August with discounted drinks and snacks.
This year's spectacular fireworks, light and drone show, called "Game of Fire and Lights", will be preceded by a dream of a small child, evoking great moments in Hungarian history.

As last year, a large-scale light and drone show will complement the spectacle.
