Budapest100 is a unique organic program mobilizing the entire city which was initiated by OSA Archivum and KÉK in 2011. The civil festival celebrating the one-hundred-year-old buildings of Budapest organized by volunteers, local patriots and townsmen. Its ultimate goal is to start a tradition and to draw our attention to the buildings surrounding us and the human values that are around us every day. The program is a civil urban festival which has an outstanding community building effect by bringing people of different social background and generations closer. Volunteering plays a key role in Budapest100. Apart from participating buildings, over 2000 volunteers participate in the event and it is our volunteers who, by creatively helping to implement the colorful programs and devoting their energies to organization, make the festival a successful event.
In 2013 the festival was awarded as the “Most beautiful city even” by the German Lebendige Stadt Stiftung. In 2010 the festival won the proce of the “Volunteer Program of the Year” in Hungary. The Guardian also praised the event as one of best cultural events of Europe.
