It's Saturday night and the Discovery channel is showing something tedious about goldfish. You might as well sit around watching the fish-tank, while some inane fool feeds fishfood into your ears. So why don't you turn off the TV, go out, and do something less boring instead?

Summer on the Chain Bridge (Festival)

Lánchíd, 12th, 13th July, 15:00

'Keep your eyes open because you never know who you will find standing beside you. An astronaut? A nurse? A gangster?' Wise advice from the Chain Bridge summer festival's website, although I'm not sure what it's got to do with today's program. The theme for this weekend is performance - there's dance, a Leopardman, a Brass Circus and some Bees. Details here. (Leave your car at home).

Ominous sounding stuff at the Corvin department store. If it's rubbish/scary, go up to the terrace.

Ok, so this isn't Budapest but a lot of the city's young people will be there, kicking it by the lake. The B-52s, Krafty Kuts and Booka Shade are on the bill today. No tickets on the door though.

Luc Besson's seminal eighties movie is simultaneously quite good and bloody awful. In French and Hungarian.
