The future of Hello Budapest! is uncertain as the main event, Furdance Budapest, continues to grow. The decision whether the event will be held in the future depends on various factors.

Virtual parties[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual Furdance Budapest event was cancelled in 2020. In response, organisers hosted Virtual parties in Second Life as an alternative for attendees.
