It’s a triple celebration in Hungary on August 20th. St. Stephen’s Day celebrates Hungary’s first king, King Stephen I, who is now the patron saint of Hungary. Hungarians also celebrate the Founding of the country today. The Day of the New Bread celebrates the end of the harvest season. So, we got to enjoy fantastic fireworks shooting from the Chain Bridge over the Danube.
