Víz - Zene - Virág Festival (Water, Music, Flower Festival)

Each summer Tata hosts the famous Water Music Flower festival.  I went Friday and Saturday to enjoy some of the different festivities.  There were so many different things to see, I wasn't exactly sure what to do with myself.  There were water parades, stunt pilots, acrobats, musical entertainment, "American football," dance groups, an American dixieland band, and Hungarian wares and food.  It was nice to see, but the weather was a bit cruddy so I didn't stay real long.  Plus I was wandering around by myself, so phoey to that.

crowds crowds and more crowds
