      Yes, after making your booking, you will have a reserved place on the NYE Swing & Boogie program. Please note that seating is arranged at shared tables of 4 persons.

      Please note that there will be no official fireworks show in Budapest on New Year’s Eve (the city municipality does not organize them), but traditionally there are some individual initiatives throughout the city. That said, most privately organized fireworks displays are close to the river Danube, so they might be seen from the Whale Bistro as well.
