The festival celebrating the reopening of the renovated M3 metro line took place over two days at seven locations, according to an article on budapestbrand.hu. The Metro Festival welcomed all metro users with concerts, exhibitions, stand-up comedy and a playground. As reported, the event was organised by Budapest Brand and BKV on behalf of the Budapest Metropolitan Municipality.

As we previously reportedwe wrote earlier, following five years of renovation, the M3 underground line will be running again on the entire line from 22 May. After the renovation of the northern and then the southern sections, work began in autumn 2020 on the central (downtown) section, which includes nine stations. The stations were constructed by SWIETELSKY Építő Kft., while the renovation of the tracks was the responsibility of Swietelsky Vasúttechnika Kft.. The individual sectional plans were prepared by FŐMTERV Zrt..

We discussed the milestones, challenges and interesting aspects of the modernisation with Krisztián Áprily, project director, and Hajnalka Gyécsek, project manager, from the SWIETELSKY Építő Kft. Metro Construction Division. .

Over two days, the event offered an unusual programme of activities for travellers at the renewed stops at Nagyvárad Square, Corvin Square, Kálvin Square, Deák Ferenc Square, Arany János Street, Nyugati Railway Station and Lehel Square. In Nagyvárad Square, a DJ provided music, while in Lehel Square, a metro history exhibition was on display.

According to the article, the NEO band, who also evoked the film Kontroll, drew huge crowds, but the Jazzbois, the Soharóza Improv Choir, Galactic Jackson, Lőrinc Barabás, Quixotic, Lelle, the musicians of the Hungarian Bar Pianists Association and Stinky Bugs also enchanted the audience.

Fans of the theatre genre could watch the Baltazár Theatre's production and the Momentán Company's improvisational performances, while Budapest Stand-up entertained the audience with performances.

For those who wanted to dance, the students of the Hungarian Dance Academy enjoyed the Budapest Ballet Grand Prix. Those who are always late could gain a few minutes by choosing the speed slide instead of the stairs in Kálvin Square, but children also enjoyed bathing in the colourful little balls of the ball pool.
