If it’s autumn in Börtsch (Börcs), it must be time for the legendary Pumpkin Festival! On October 11, 2025, the village will host its eighteenth Traditional Pumpkin Festival, featuring not only pumpkins, but also the Pannonia’s Treasure Producers’ Market and a bustling Crafts Fair. Expect crowd-pleasing stage shows, a lively street of artisans, food stalls packed with fall flavors, a folk playhouse for kids, and plenty of fun surprises—proof that “the countryside comes alive in autumn.”
Full Day of Entertainment
The action kicks off at 1:00 PM. Highlights include a roundtable discussion with Zsuzsi Bajzát, an energetic Tét Brass Band concert, a “Soul Magic” children’s concert, and folk dancers featuring students from Janosmor (Jánossomorja) and Börtsch (Börcs). Later, Janka Józsa (Józsa Janka) and Szabolcs Kosár will perform international hits, the Hungarian Operetta Troupe will bring drama, and Attila László—a Fonogram Award-winning Transylvanian Hungarian singer—will take the stage. Try your luck at the evening raffle, then cap off the night with crowd-favorite Mary Notar (Nótár Mary).
