This year, the Baroque wedding will be held again in Győr, the highlight of the program series taking place between August 6 and 8, the wedding ceremony will take place on Saturday.
Vice-mayor Ákos Radnóti (Fidesz-KDNP) emphasized at Monday's press conference in Győr that, with the exception of last year, the program series has been held every year since 1993, where visitors are welcomed with period clothes from the 17th and 18th centuries, program elements reviving the Baroque era, and fairground excitement.
Ferenc Keglovich, coordinator of the baroque wedding, said that this year Annamária Benke and Lajos Imre, who live in Austria, will tie their lives together at the event. Originally, they were supposed to get married last year at the event in Győr, but like other events, this one could not be held due to the coronavirus epidemic.
The bride was born in Győr and, as a child, participated several times in the event dressed in baroque clothes, as a marcher, he added.
Elaborating on the programs, he said that the three-day event will begin on Friday, August 6, with a concert by the Bacchus Consort, at which the groom will greet the bride.
On Saturday mornings, traditionalist associations hold presentations from the everyday world of the time in the city center. You will be able to visit the prison under the town hall of the time, where performances recall the old stories every hour from the afternoon. The baroque parade begins in the early afternoon, during which the bride and groom, as well as their parents, relatives and hundreds of costumed volunteers, march through the city center dressed in baroque clothes.
At the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom say goodbye to their parents while standing on their knees, they sign the dowry letter, and then the flower wreath is removed from the bride's head with a sword, which is replaced by the head tie symbolizing womanhood. The day ends with a baroque dance hall, Ferenc Keglovich added.
On Sunday, visitors can enjoy a market, children's programs and concerts. The series of programs closes in the evening with the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble's performance entitled A Tenkes Kapitánya at Dunakapu square.
Péter Hajtó, the cultural director of Győr Projekt Kft., emphasized that the downtown decoration will be more spectacular than ever before, this time the shop windows will also be decorated.
As he said, a lot of emphasis is placed on the spectacle because, depending on the development of the coronavirus epidemic, it may happen that some programs will only be able to be visited to a limited extent.
