Join us in the evening on February 8th as we revel in the festive spirit of Farsang—Hungary’s beloved carnival season. Organized by the Tulipán Foundation, this unforgettable celebration will take place from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the Hungarian House in New York City.

This is your chance to revel in the rich traditions of Carnival in Hungary—a night filled with cultural experiences, delicious food, and vibrant festivities. We invite you to come dressed in your most playful masks and costumes as we say goodbye to winter and welcome in the season of renewal.

The evening will include a variety of immersive experiences that showcase Hungary’s cultural heritage. An in-depth presentation about Busójárás, the famous Hungarian tradition of the Busó masks and the celebration in Mohács, will offer insight into the history and significance of this unique custom. Traditional crafts will also take center stage, including the creation of traditional masks and noisemakers, which will serve as the perfect opportunity for you to add your personal touch to carnival festivities. In addition, food lovers will delight in the flavors to be found on traditional Hungarian snacking trays.

As the festivities unfold, the evening will culminate with live folk music and dancing. Whether you're an experienced dancer or simply there to enjoy the sights and sounds, the celebratory atmosphere will have everyone dancing in true Farsang spirit.
