They started as occasional events in Lukács bath and move to the larger Széchenyi Spa later on due to the success and the need for more space. Nowadays the Budapest Bath Parties are fixed events in the Budapest Nightlife and Clubbing scene and are well visited every time they take place.

Different Bath Parties in Budapest
The Bath parties in Budapest are appearing under different names but they all take part in the same bath so here is a little overview of names you should have an open ear for and maybe like their Facebook page to stay up to date and get news and images from the parties.
Cinetrip
Cinetrip as such is a set of events taking place in exotic locations and in terms of Bath parties this is the case. The parties are organized in Széchenyi bath in different times but approximately once per month. The name Cinetrip came from the fact that it all started with making the soundtrack to silent movies in Király bath. It than slowly turned into a series of parties with proper music and light show – the audio-visual effects have always been a key point.
Prices are 12.000 HUF (40€) at the door with probably some discount if bought in advance.
