Our story

This year marks the 13th birthday of the Advent Festival at the Basilica. Voted Europe's Best Christmas Market for the third time last year, the event will open its doors on 17th of November 2023 and will run until 1st of January 2024 on Szent István Square in Budapest.

Whether you visit the square with family, friends or colleagues, you will be captivated by the authentic Christmas atmosphere. Not only the fair, but also the wonderful hand-made creations, the fantastic gastronomic adventures, the artistic performances, the laughter of the skaters or the exciting 3-dimensional play of light and shadow on the façade of the Basilica will all contribute to bring back the blessed anticipation of Advent and take us back to the Christmas wonder of our childhood.
