when: 2026.02.21., Saturday

On February 21, 2026, Hungary’s freight community gathers for the Trucking Entrepreneurs’ Carnival Ball and Awards Gala at 4 Apáczai Csere János Street, District V, Budapest. It’s more than a party: a night to trade insights, forge partnerships, and celebrate a powerhouse industry under the city lights.

Paris After Dark, Budapest Address

This year’s theme channels France—elegance, romance, and a dash of magic—spotlighting one of Hungarian hauliers’ key target markets. Guests’ trucks symbolically glide into the glow of Paris, where cuisine, music, and art collide against the festive backdrop of the transport world.

Live Band, Unbroken Dance Floor

Partyssimo Zenekar drives the soundtrack, promising a floor that never empties. Expect polished live sets, beloved classics, and high-energy delivery to lock in a night of unforgettable momentum from the first note to the last spin.

Divas, Icons, and a Surprise

GOOD Vibes Show Company ignites the stage with Divas and Icons, a revue of legendary hits reimagined with dynamic arrangements, gripping choreography, and eye-popping show elements. A surprise star guest turns up the pulse even further with an electrifying concert that powers dancing past midnight.

Café de Paris, Lipbar Glow

Slip into Café de Paris for exquisite French pastries and carefully curated coffees—each sip and bite crafted to summon the spirit of the Seine. In a dedicated lounge, Lipbar by Toman pampers women guests, while Montmartre’s bohemian mood and a caricature artist’s strokes conjure smiles and lasting keepsakes.

Memories, Captured in 360

Modern tech seals the magic: Helicam 360 and SelfieBox preserve La Magie de France as a keepsake you can replay long after Budapest’s night fades.

Pros
+
Family-friendly vibe if your kids are into music, dancing, and glitzy shows—live band, revue, and photo tech keep energy high
+
Internationally relatable theme (Paris) makes it easy to enjoy even if you don’t know the trucking scene
+
Central Budapest location (District V, Apáczai Csere János u. 4) is well-known and tourist-friendly, near the Danube and big hotels
+
Little to no Hungarian needed—entertainment, music, and French-themed food are universally accessible
+
Easy to reach by public transport (Metro lines M1/M2/M3 nearby, trams/buses) or short rideshare; driving and hotel drop-offs are straightforward in downtown
+
Unique peek into Hungary’s freight industry—cool cultural crossover you won’t find on typical tourist itineraries
+
Comparable to industry gala nights in the U.S./EU but with a stylish Paris-meets-Budapest twist, making it feel special rather than corporate - Not primarily a kids’ event; late-night dancing and gala atmosphere may be tiring or too formal for young families
Cons
The trucking/entrepreneur focus is niche—if you’re not curious about the industry, parts may feel insider-y
Event recognition is low internationally; U.S. tourists won’t likely know it unless plugged into logistics circles
Driving/parking in District V can be stressful, with tight streets and limited spots; better to use transit or rideshare
