September means you can still party outside in Budapest – but not for too much longer. Here we round up the top alfresco destinations and concert venues where you can shake it outdoors for a week or two more at least.

BARBA NEGRA TRACK
With a commitment to rock music, metal and alternative genres, the Barba Negra Track will stick to the script for a couple more weeks at least.

FELLINI RÓMAI KULTÚRBISZTRÓ
As always, one of the top spots of the summer was the Fellini Római Kultúrbisztró, a beachside venue comprising a bar/caravan, small stage and deckchairs ranged around the lap of the Danube. The location is way up in Óbuda – take the HÉV train from Batthyány tér to Rómaifürdő, walk a good five minutes down Emőd utca and hang a left – don’t forget the mosquito spray. Upcoming acts include Bulcsú Babarci, the Zsanett Pápai Trio, and the duo of András Jász and Zsolt Barta. Closing night is 29 September when, as a special show, resident musicians the Fellini Family will play a few numbers.

KABIN
Waterfront Kabin really pushes the boat out when it comes to extending summer. Here on Népsziget island, a short walk over the bridge from Újpest-városkapu station on the M3 metro line, a laid-back vibe underscores a busy music agenda until mid October, weather permitting. Already confirmed are an Ethno Jazz Night featuring the Gregorian Pázmándi Trio, the Summer Never Ends party by Cream Of Sounds and a drum & bass party or two courtesy of The Hive.
