Sparty is a Hungarian event series which has been held since 1994 in Budapest's oldest thermal baths.[1] Its name, a registered trademark in the European Union, is a portmanteau of the words "spa" and "party," indicating the fusion of night bathing with club life.[2][3]
History
[edit]Hungarian bath culture has a long history of hundreds of years, which was founded in the time of the ancient Roman Empire and later developed further under Turkish influence. Due to its historical traditions, Budapest is customarily described as the city of spas, which, besides satisfying domestic needs, makes the Hungarian capital popular among tourists. Sparty built an event on these traditions of thermal baths, where the night bathing is complemented with light and laser shows and live music.[4]
Popularity
[edit]The fame of Sparty is well characterized by the fact that 50,000 visitors attend the events each year.[5] In addition to the night bathing Sparties feature DJs playing electro, trip-hop, hip-hop, funk and trance music, moreover alcohol consumption is permitted, hence the outstanding popularity among program tourists and youngsters.[6]
