Every year, neo-Nazi, Hungarian nationalist (Arrow Cross) and other far-right organizations (accompanied by anti-fascist counter-demonstrators) commemorate the attempt by German and Hungarian units trapped in Buda Castle to break through the Soviet siege of Budapest on February 11, 1945. This is known as the „Day of Honor” (or “Breakout Day”) and was also commemorated this year.
The group that won the tourism subsidy for the lodge is responsible for organizing an annual „Breakout Memorial Tour.”
