This unique event has a single mission: to celebrate and preserve traditional Hungarian village life, customs, and cuisine.
Folk Dancing and Singing Take the Stage
Performers arrive from neighboring towns, with folk dancers, singers, and cooking teams all ready to compete and entertain. The highlight? The fierce contest to see who can make the most delicious dumplings in all of Nógrád County (Nógrád megye)—bragging rights are on the line, and the competition gets intense.
Tradition with a Future
Plum Saturday (Szilvaszombat) isn’t just a bit of nostalgic fun. Organizers hope it will inspire younger generations and serve as an example for preserving national heritage. Keep your eyes open—dates or programs might change, as the team likes to stay flexible.
