Do you like gospel? Do you like black gospel? Then this is an event for you! The Harlem Gospel Singers will perform in the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna the 14. December, 19:30. Tickets can be bought from Eventim for these event. So, if you would like some more christmas feelings, before christmas arrives, this might help you (together with the Christmas market in Budapest).

“A good message, songs sung together, lifting, spiritual and explosive: when voices start to fly and hearts open – that’s gospel. It is expressed most completely when compared worldwide at concerts of the famous and original Harlem Gospel Singers”

A major series of equestrian events awaits horse lovers on the occasion of the ceremonial opening of the new pavilion. We wish to celebrate this important milestone in the renewal of the HUNGEXPO Budapest Fair Centre in a befitting manner with an exclusive gala show and by reviving the tradition of equestrian life. This large scale event is a must for the public keen on riding, and equestrian competitions and shows, manufacturers of tackle, and those involved in equestrian tourism or wishing to popularise riding. This is because EQUIFEST is more than simply a spectacular festive programme – it is also a trade forum and outstanding business opportunity.
