Program of the Carnival Parade:
7:00 a.m. – 1 p.m. Megyeháza [County Hall] (Piac u. 54.) – Nagyerdei körút [Great Forest Boulevard]
Carnival Parade, a procession of bikers, vintage automobiles, floral floats, and artistic ensembles
One of the major and, perhaps, most popular cultural events in Hungary was 50 years old last year. The central feature of this annual series of functions is the carnival parade held on August 20, when 5-by-12-meter floral compositions, made of several hundred thousand flowers, float graciously down the streets of Debrecen, surrounded by dancers and artistic ensembles from Hungary and abroad, whose focus is the preservation of cultural heritage and traditions.

Children under 3 are free on the bleachers provided they sit in lap. Spectators are given a wristband at the access point to the bleachers in the morning to be worn all through the event. The presence of the wristband is regularly controlled by the organizers. Spectators missing the wristband are asked to leave the bleachers. The performing groups present their programme in front of all the bleachers. The parade is free to watch from other spots in its route, however, please note that in such cases visibility is not guaranteed and also that the groups perform their shows exclusively in front of the bleachers.
