The Café Budapest will feature scrumptious tortes, pastries, and espresso coffee. Strudel and fresh baked bread also will be on the menu. All foods are available for take-out.

There will be free Hungarian folk dance lessons for all ages. Programs such as a live animal show, free kids’ activities, a book fair, folk art, and crafts, souvenirs and novelty items for sale will round out the festivities.
All proceeds will benefit and support the activities of the nearly 250 Hungarian boy and girl scouts who are celebrating 70 years of Hungarian scouting in Northeast Ohio. The first Hungarian scout troop in North America was established in Cleveland in 1951.
Admission is $7, free for children under ten. Parking is free, with handicapped spaces near the entrance gate and accessibility throughout the park. No coolers and no pets please.
