After the grand parade on August 20, the magic doesn’t end — it simply slows down so you can savour it.

From early afternoon, the intricately designed flower carts and vintage OldTimer cars that previously dazzled the streets will be on display for all to admire up close, offering a unique and exclusive opportunity.

These flower carts crafted from thousands of fresh blooms and restored with loving care, offer a rare chance to appreciate the artistry and history behind the spectacle.

Step back in time as the OldTimer Exhibition showcases a stunning lineup of vintage cars on August 20, right after the parade. These beautifully restored classics — each with its own story and charm — will be on display at the Nagyerdei Stadion’s northern event space, inviting visitors to admire the craftsmanship and nostalgia of a bygone era.

Whether you’re a car enthusiast or appreciate timeless beauty, the Old Timers add a touch of retro glamour to the carnival’s vibrant atmosphere.
