Dear Jeff,

Dear Jeff,
yes, this is correct, unfortunately there will be no Easter fair in the Buda Castle this year.
Hi, you mentioned earlier that there would be some Easter programs at the Castle Garden Bazaar over the Easter weekend (April 20–22). Are there still any Easter-related events happening for today?
Dear Piruza,
The Easter activities largely ended on Apr 21st in 2025, however, there are many other programmes for Apr 22nd to enjoy, including various guided tours and exhibitions. Please check your email for more information for the festive season. Wishing you a beautiful Easter visit in Budapest.
