Baroque Wedding

The unique Baroque Wedding, the jewel of Győr's Baroque city centre, has been extended for a zero-day this year: on Thursday 8 August, our venues will not be without a programme.
This year, in addition to the two traditional venues, Széchenyi Square and Dunakapu Square, Radó Island will also be part of the Baroque cycle. This time the island will be populated by traditionalists.

Baroque wedding parade
About two hundred merry costumes accompany the bride and groom on the great journey of their lives, their wedding. The procession is led by the Giantess, the symbol of fertility, followed by the personified virtues of Justice, Temperance and Wisdom........ on golden chariots as well-wishers. The merry cavalcade of musicians and dancers is a veritable fashion show, with traditional baroque costumes and parodied costumes being joined by crazy musicians and dames who make the procession even more spectacular.
This year, the Met is accompanied by horsemen, the newlyweds arriving at the ceremony on a five-in-hand from Bábolna.
 
 
 
20.00
Baroque Wedding
The ceremony will reveal how a Hungarian aristocratic couple once pledged their eternal allegiance to each other in the 17th century. The groom kneels to ask his bride to marry him, they sign the dowry, the town's "magistrate" confirms their union and the wedding ring is put on their finger. The bridesmaids place the headdress on the bride's head, which is a symbol of the bride's bridehood, and the best man takes it off her head with a sword and throws it into the crowd. Dancers march in, torchlight dancing around the bride and groom, and white doves, symbols of love and happiness, fly.
At the end of the ceremony, a fountain of sparks makes the evening even more festive.
