Vine-harvest festivals all around the country!

Vine-harvest is one of the essential programs in the Hungarian countryside in the early autumn. During these events, most of the locals gather and have fun together over one or two nice glasses of Hungarian wine. To those who would like to experience the authentic and exciting atmosphere of harvest eves, we recommend trying the Újbuda Harvest Fest or the Tokaj Harvest Days in early October. The city of Esztergom also has similar programs to offer for both tourists and locals.

The Harvest Days are of the oldest traditions in Tokaj, their history goes back as far as 1932, when the first official harvesting fest was organised. If that is not enough, the wine and palinka tasting will convince everyone to participate.

Besides, there will be several workshops and retro DJs during the night.

Looking for gastronomy festivals? Check out the Pumpkin Festival!

I bet you also know the feeling when, on a rainy autumn weekend, you stay in bed reading and drinking pumpkin spice latte or eating a pumpkin pie. If this sounds like an ideal program for you, you may as well go to the Pumpkin Festival in Zebegény.

Besides the interesting and funny programs all related to pumpkin, you can discover one of the most spectacular cities in the Danube Bend not far away from Visegrád, Nagymaros and Szentendre.

Jazz Days on lazy autumn weekends

A real jazz fan knows that it is way better to be able to listen to your favourite songs and tunes at live performances and concerts. Fortunately, there will be several opportunities to do so this autumn: the Jazz Festival organised by the radio channel ‘Jazzy’ at MOM Kult, or the Szeged Jazz Days early November.

On 5^th October, concert-goers will get the chance to listen to the Earth, Wind and Fire Experience, and other jazz bands including Hungarian performers.
