The 20th of August is a National holiday in Hungary. Hungarians commemorate the foundation of the Hungarian state.
It's called St. Stephen's day because it's his feast day. He encouraged the spread of Christianity and turned it into a legitimate Christian state. Stephen I is the first king of Hungary, who was canonized by Pope Gregory VII.

Festivities start in the morning with the raising of the Hungarian flag and continue on all day long, culminating in spectacular fireworks on the Danube river!!!
Wherever fireworks take place, I am there!!!
