The city of Baja is preparing for a major event on August 30th: on Szentháromság Square, they will once again attempt to break the Guinness record set in 2010, when 1,598 people danced csárdás together.

The event at that time took place as part of the "Year of Csárdás" program series, in honour of composer Márk Rózsavölgyi, who laid the foundations of the csárdás during his years in Baja.

The organisers would now like 2,025 people to dance the Hungarian folk dance together this year, thus appropriately connecting to the city's traditions and to Baja, known as the birthplace of the csárdás. The event will not only be a record attempt but also a celebration of community and culture, where participants will become part of a special experience.- Kata Papp, specialist in community culture and public relations at Bácskai Művelődési Központ, gave details to our radio.

The program begins at three in the afternoon with on-site registration, followed by song and dance instruction, a dance house, and concerts to enliven the day. The accompanying programs include a handicraft market, folk toys and delicious bites awaiting visitors.

Kata Papp emphasised that traditional costume is not required for participation, but those arriving in traditional dress will be warmly welcomed. The city of Baja encourages all those interested to join the initiative and be part of another historic moment, when the csárdás once again fills the main square with the collective dancing of thousands.
As with other events or in other places, photographs and audio recordings may be made at this event. By entering the event, participants give their prior and explicit consent – without further question – to the recording and publication of their face and appearance as they may be recognizable in these recordings, for example for the purpose of promoting similar future events.
