Walking though District V yesterday we noticed that workers were already busy putting up booths and other accoutrements for this Weekend's Budapesti Pálinka Fesztivál. They organizers also seem to have updated the English-language intro on the website, which as usual sounds like it was written with a bottle close at hand:

For the fifth year in a row, Városháza Park will be home to a pretty darn good gastronomical festival, parading the fiery Hungaricum, pálinka, at its best. Between May 6th and 9th, venture out into the sunshine and browse the long line of stalls of the Budapest Pálinka Festival showcasing over 300 (!) types of tempting fruit brandies alongside this years newcomers, exciting pálinka-based cocktails for the more adventurous among us. All this, plus polished music performances, foodie treats and a bigger location than last year!

All we can say is, don't forget to drink some water when you get home.
