Budafest is a big event, or you like it or you don't. I am part of the group who likes it a lot and will come back every year, already looking for a leader to subscribe with ;). Because for the subscription it's the best to couple up and subscribe when it's open, otherwise very hard to get in, because it sell's out very quickly. Balance ratio leader/follow perfect, but say at 07h00 sometimes a bit more harder, hahaha. This year it was my first time with a party pass and I do understand now why so many people told me to take party pass, much more releaxing and you can really enjoy the event even more. Great shows, parties, ballroom, hotel. It is a big event, so sometimes you see people just at sunday or not at all and discover later on that they have been there too, or you run into them everyday. Easy with that many dancers to dance with people you've never danced with, so really nice to met so many different dancers! Overall can only recommend the event, try it out yourself if you haven't been yet!

The event was absolutely fantastic. I loved every bit of it. Teachers were superb and classes were great. I loved that everyone had wristbands of the same colour and in the classes we had coloured cards with our names on them. The vibe was very nice and cozy, social dancing was amazing. The event felt well-balanced, the floor was good, the music was great as well. Competitions were well organised, there was additional Am/Pro J&J which was nice! The prizes were also very nice - finalists got glass bottles with Finnfest logo and the top 3 winners got full passes to various events (even Newcomers!). The MC Lauren Jones was an absolute legend! Overall, absolutely recommended and I’m definitely going back!

one of my favorite dance events! full dance floor, great atmosphere, excellent shows and high-level workshops - all this makes me definitely come back. A certain problem may be too strong air conditioning
