Pros
+
Family vibe is strong—bunny party, games, and the egg dance make it easy fun for kids and parents alike
+
The theme (Easter traditions, egg dance, sprinkling) is charmingly different yet approachable even if you don’t know much about Hungarian customs
+
Tihany is a stunner on Lake Balaton—one of Hungary’s most famous getaway spots that many foreign visitors already recognize
+
You can enjoy everything without speaking Hungarian; participation is mostly visual/physical, and locals are used to visitors
+
Public transport works: trains from Budapest to Balatonfüred plus short bus/taxi/ferry hops to Tihany; driving the M7 is straightforward with good parking in season
+
Spring timing means milder weather, fewer summer crowds, and pretty lakeside scenery for photos
+
Compared to Easter events in the U.S. or Western Europe, this blends folk dance, live music, and unique “sprinkling” customs you’re unlikely to see back home
Cons
–
If you’re expecting a blockbuster international festival, this is more local and low-key, so hype and big-name acts aren’t the draw
–
Program details may shift last-minute, so you’ll need to check updates and stay flexible
–
While English isn’t required, signage and announcements may be mostly Hungarian, which can be confusing at times
–
Reaching Tihany on peak holiday hours can mean traffic around Balaton or crowded regional trains, especially if weather is great
