Jászszentandrás (Jászszentandrás) isn’t just a sleepy Hungarian village—it’s about to become the epicenter of summer fun in 2025. The local thermal spa and beach are at the heart of the action, promising everything from children’s swim camps to wild retro parties and engine-fueled rock festivals. It’s a packed schedule, all set within a huge, leafy park in the middle of town, so get ready to mark your calendar for a summer you won’t forget.
Dive into a Packed Events Calendar
Summer kicks off with not one, not two, but four separate weeks of children’s swimming lessons for both absolute beginners and young seasoned swimmers. The sessions run from June 30 to July 4, again the following week from July 7 to 11, and once more in August (August 4–8 and August 11–15). The goal is to get kids confident in the water, regardless of their starting level, all under the watchful eyes of experienced instructors.
On July 13, the spotlight turns to fitness and wellness at the “Beach Roadshow – Sport and Health Day” (Strand Roadshow – Sport és Egészségnap), hosted by Hungarian celebrity trainer Balázs Czanik. Expect energetic workouts, wellness programs, and plenty of motivation right on the beach—for all ages and fitness levels.
August 2 marks a shift from flexing muscles to reviving nostalgia with the “Night of Memories” (Az Emlékek Éjszakája). It’s an evening built around classic hits, vinyl records, and all the feelings from the good old days. Think true retro vibes, where old-school style beats playlists loaded from the cloud.
Jászszentandrás (Jászszentandrás) goes into party mode again on August 9 with its Charity Beach Party (Jótékonysági Strandparty). The main ingredients? A playlist packed with the greatest hits ever pressed to vinyl, and retro energy in bucketloads. It’s the perfect excuse to dust off your ‘80s outfit and dance the night away, all while supporting a good cause.
Adventure-seekers and sports fans can sign up for the 2nd Annual Water Soccer Championship (2. Vizes Foci Bajnokság) and Bouncy Castle on August 23. After a huge turnout for the event last year, the spa is inviting squads of friends, colleagues, or anyone who wants to play. Your team’s entry fee includes your beach admission for the day, so win or lose, fun is guaranteed.
Finally, summer closes out with a ROAR—August 28 to 30 brings the SzentandrásV8 American & Classic Car and Motorcycle Rock Festival. That means roaring engines, vintage chrome, and loud guitars for three days straight. Expect a mini-Woodstock—if Woodstock had a soft spot for muscle cars and biker jackets.
More Than Just Splashing Around
The spa itself is a hit beyond just the events. Surrounded by a 215,000 square foot (20,000 m²) park in the village center, the facility boasts four modern pools: a luxurious thermal pool for soaking away aches (especially good for joint and musculoskeletal issues), a swimming pool, a dedicated children’s pool, and a splash pool. The spa and its campground are open year-round, offering spaces for tents, camper vans, or the rental of comfortable wooden cabins for four people—making it perfect for families or groups of friends who want an escape from city noise.
Across the street, a cozy guesthouse with five rooms for up to 11 people provides rustic accommodation right across from the action. No need to commute—just roll out of bed and into the pool.
Food, Drink, and Local Wine Culture
When it comes to refueling between dips and parties, Jászszentandrás (Jászszentandrás) doesn’t disappoint. Just a short drive away in peaceful, leafy surroundings you’ll find the Golden Eagle Restaurant (Aranysas Étterem). Spread across two floors, it seats 140 and is a magnet for lovers of hearty Hungarian dishes. The upstairs dining room can accommodate groups of up to 100, while the ground floor fits 40 people; there’s also a 30-seat terrace for those who want to soak in more sun with their meal. It’s the go-to spot for family gatherings, company outings, and almost any group celebration.
Wine lovers will find plenty to enjoy as well. The broader Mátra wine region, with its volcanic soils, produces wines with fresh aromas and a fiery kick. Local family wineries offer a wide selection—like Abasár Italian Riesling (Abasári Olaszrizling), Domoszló Muscat (Domoszlói Muskotály), or Gyöngyös Spicy Traminer (Gyöngyösi Fűszeres Tramini). Tastings typically come paired with artisanal cheese and homemade pastries. Some vineyards even produce grape juice, jams, and honey, and several sell their wines by the bottle or jug—perfect for your picnic basket.
From classic Italian Riesling (Olaszrizling) to bold Cabernet Sauvignon, the surrounding area’s three-level cellars welcome groups for tastings of six to eight different wines. A local tradition dating back centuries, winemaking here is equal parts modern innovation and cherished lost methods—some estates even offer lodging in village houses adjacent to the winery itself. So no need to worry about who gets stuck as the designated driver.
