Due to its historical traditions, Budapest is customarily described as the city of spas, which, besides satisfying domestic needs, makes the Hungarian capital extremely popular among tourists. Sparty built a popular event on these traditions of thermal baths, where the night bathing is complemented with light and laser shows and live music. At the events, organized in the Lukács and Széchenyi Baths in Budapest, guests can enjoy a mix of thermal baths, visual effects and music between the several hundred years old walls.

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.
