• 3-6th June – Pork knuckle and Beer Festivalin Gárdony, Lake Velence: Lake Velence is the 3rd largest natural lake in Hungary and a popular holiday destination amongst Hungarians. The lake has an area of 26 square kms, and because of the sunny climate of the area and the shallowness of the lake, it is one of the warmest lakes in Europe: its temperature in the summer may reach 26 to 28 °C. The train can take you from Budapest to Gárdony in about 1hour, leaving from Budapest Déli or Kelenföld.
• 10th June – Holi Peace Festival in Kincsem Park: Hungary’s original and number one color festival. Since 2014, they  have been organizing the largest color festival of Europe in Hungary. The event, that is organized around colorful Holi powders originated from India, celebrates the victory of good over evil and the beginning of spring.
