Budapest rings in 2026 with a Funk & Soul blowout on the Vogue static boat on December 31, 2025. Set on Carl Lutz Embankment (Carl Lutz rakpart), the city’s coziest anchored venue pairs a panoramic Danube view with a festive dinner and live music. The Éliás Gyula Acoustic Quartet sets the tone before DJ Miskó takes over, and midnight pops with a bubbly toast. Seats are going fast, so booking early is a smart move.

Music, Mood, Midnight
Expect a warm, groove-forward soundtrack: the Éliás Gyula Acoustic Quartet brings live funk and soul, then DJ Miskó carries the dance floor into the new year. At midnight, it’s clinking glasses and a hearty Hungarian bite to keep the energy high.
