People around the world celebrate Advent, the period each December where Christians prepare for Christmas. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, on the 28th of November this year.
The lighting of an advent wreath candle is a common way to countdown to Christmas. The candles represent the four Sundays of Advent, and one candle is lit each Sunday in Advent.
The 28th of November:
At 4:30 pm in the Memorial Garden, you can watch a gift program performed by Lóránd Heit and his folk band, followed by festive speeches and the lighting of the first Advent candle at 5 pm. After lighting the candle, people walk together from the Memorial Garden in front of the Reformed Big Church, where the lights of the city come to light at 5:30 pm with musical background. You must have a vaccination certificate to enter the Memorial Garden.
There will be a traffic restriction between the Town Hall (Városháza) and Kálvin Square (Kálvin tér) during the candlelight ceremony from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Tram number 1 and tram number 2 will not go between the Town Hall (Városháza), and Kálvin Square (Kálvin tér) stops.
