The crowning glory of the carnival events is the annual Gala Show, held in the fabulous surroundings of the Margaret Island Open Air Stage, a unique, collaborative show featuring nearly 300 artists from local and international dance troupes.

To celebrate the anniversary, the most memorable moments from the past 30 years will be revisited, with a selection of the most successful scenes from the major gala shows.

The performance, which is realized in artistic cooperation, will also feature foreign dance and music groups invited to the carnival.

The performers invited to the Danube Artistic Ensemble and the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble will also join.
