The Hungarian government is preparing a “more monumental than ever”, four-day-long program to celebrate Hungary’s August 20 national holiday this year.
“On this day we commemorate a history of over 1,000 years, which is worth celebrating with several days of festivities,” Zoltán Kovács, State Secretary for International Communications and Relations, said on Facebook. The state secretary said that Hungary’s defeat of the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic meant that “the old life we are accustomed to can return”, adding that the body in charge of the festivities had already started making preparations.
