Shop the world all in a day

It is an invitation to “shop around the world in one day” as many of the countries represented by embassies in Hungary will sell national specialities and souvenirs from their individual stalls.

The Diplomatic Spouses of Budapest – comprising male and female partners – is an informal grouping, a non-political, non-religious, non-profit association founded in 2000 by a group of spouses in the diplomatic community to bring together partners of Heads of Missions and of other diplomats accredited to Hungary.

They offer a day to remember, a fun-filled family event with food and drinks, music and dance, a children’s corner and raffles with large and small prizes. The entrance fee is HUF 1000, free for children 14 years and under.

Proceeds in the past have gone to Hungarian charities such as A Mi Hazunk “Our House” foundation in Esztergom, the Special Education and Development Institute for children, Pál Heim Children’s Hospital and Szent István and Szent László Hospital. The patron of the Diplomatic Fair is Anita Herczegh, wife of the President of Hungary, János Áder.
