Hungary’s tourism agency hopes that as many people as possible will be in Budapest on the August 20 national holiday to witness the “biggest ever” festive fireworks display.
Zoltán Guller, the head of the agency, said on Thursday that more than 40,000 shots will be fired during the 25-minute show, which is eight to nine times as many as in previous years. He noted that the government is preparing to organize four days of festive programs in the capital to mark St Stephen’s Day this year.
