Source-derived summary

The Café Budapest Contemporary Arts Festival, formerly the Budapest Autumn Festival (Hungarian: Budapesti Őszi Fesztivál, pronounced [ˈbudɒpɛʃti ˈøːsi ˈfɛstivaːl]) is an annual dance, jazz, theatre, poetry and fine arts festival founded in Budapest in 1992. The festival usually takes place in early October.

Like the Budapest Spring Festival, the Autumn Festival is also sponsored by the city, but the content is more geared to modern and avant-garde arts.

The festival overlaps with the classical Budapest Music Weeks in late September to early November.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “hungarian arts festival” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q851241. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
