The Legendary Makó Onion Takes Center Stage
At the heart of it all is the Makó red onion—a unique local variety considered a national treasure. True Makó onions come only from this region and take two years to grow, soaking up the hot, dry summers and the nutrient-rich soil of the Maros River (Maros). The festival proudly showcases both the onion’s cultural legacy and its vital role in Makó’s (Makó) economy, blending tradition with great entertainment.
