The Pálinka Festival in Budapest takes place during early May and is usually held in the Budapest City Hall Park. This is a fantastic occasion for distilleries to display their own original liquors which have been produced through a traditional process. This is an exciting time for those who attend and many do so, putting aside their usual activities of playing party poker or whatever they do in their spare time. This is a highly-anticipated tradition and creates a lot of excitement among those involved.
