GOUBA – an overview:

GOUBA is a regular program in Budapest inviting both tourists and locals for a refreshing walk in the heart of the city.
Just like art markets in several cities in the world – such as the Portobello Market in London, Via Margutta in Rome, Shuk HaCarmel and Shenkin Street in Israel, Mercatino di Campo Santa Margherita in Venice –, in a similar fashion, we’ll have this unique free market organized every Sunday in 2012 between spring an autumn, combined with entertaining street theatre and music productions.
The “Portobello of Budapest”, with delightful background music, will entertain particular and open-minded visitors with unique works by representative artists and craftsmen, valuable works of art and antiques.

The GOUBA-feeling:

Visitors will find a multi-faceted and rich selection of products “almost nowhere (else) to be seen”, excluding neither amorphous toy rabbits with lucid eyes nor exceptionally valuable paintings or extravagant costumes, Art Nouveau statues, grandma’s copper garlic press, a freshly painted portrait or a sky-blue felt hat quite out of a fairy tale! The sunshine would endow multi-coloured glass medals with tiny rainbows, and the saxophonist would try to catch this playful and sensitive mood, perhaps a little in the style of Charlie Parker… If you really feel the rhythm, you can also buy special instruments – but if that’s not your cup of tea, the Harlequin can still teach you how to make air balloon animals or you can learn to thread beads, how to make bamboo mats or to dance!
