The Kincsem Equestrian Park (Kincsem Lovaspark) in Tápiószentmárton is throwing its gates wide open throughout 2026 with a packed calendar for horse lovers, families, and foodies. From glittering winter galas to rustic sausage-making and wedding inspiration, the park puts on a year-long show just 37 miles from Budapest, with a steady rhythm of weekly boarding opportunities for new horse owners and riders looking for a home stable.
February kicks off with elegance
February belongs to glamour and tradition. It all starts on February 7 with the Horsemen’s Ball, a dressed-up evening set in refined surroundings with a generous dinner and a promise: an unforgettable atmosphere. Entry is by advance purchase only; tickets are 8,000 Ft (about 22 USD). For anyone who’s ever danced in riding boots or just dreamed of it, this is your night.
Weekly boarding all year
From February 2 through December, the park welcomes new boarders almost every week, giving riders the chance to settle their horses into a professional yard within easy reach of the capital. The schedule rolls week by week: Feb 2–8, Feb 9–15, Feb 16–22, Feb 23–Mar 1; then Mar 2–8, Mar 9–15, Mar 16–22, Mar 23–29, Mar 30–Apr 5; Apr 6–12, Apr 13–19, Apr 20–26, Apr 27–May 3; May 4–10, May 11–17, May 18–24, May 25–31; Jun 1–7, Jun 8–14, Jun 15–21, Jun 22–28, Jun 29–Jul 5; Jul 6–12, Jul 13–19, Jul 20–26, Jul 27–Aug 2; Aug 3–9, Aug 10–16, Aug 17–23, Aug 24–30, Aug 31–Sep 6; Sep 7–13, Sep 14–20, Sep 21–27, Sep 28–Oct 4; Oct 5–11, Oct 12–18, Oct 19–25, Oct 26–Nov 1; Nov 2–8, Nov 9–15, Nov 16–22, Nov 23–29; Nov 30–Dec 6. Each block invites new boarders to join the Tápiószentmárton community, with the stables set among open fields and easy access to countryside hacking.
A feast of tradition on February 14
One day after the ball gowns are hung back up, the park shifts gears for the 11th International Sausage-Stuffing Festival (XI. Nemzetközi Hurkatöltő Fesztivál) on February 14. This festival celebrates the age-old tradition of pig slaughter and the rich world of pork dishes—especially hurka, the spiced, homestyle sausage many Hungarians grew up on. It’s more than eating: the day blends culinary thrills with crafts, horse-drawn carriage rides, pony rides for kids, and a bustling artisan market. If you’ve ever wanted to watch hurka being made the old way, this is your front-row seat—then taste it right there and then.
Yes to forever: Wedding Open Day
On February 21, the park turns into a stage for proposals, plans, and Pinterest boards brought to life. The Wedding Open Day is for couples who want their big day to be more than a date in the diary. Imagine a place where every detail feels in tune with nature and every moment adds a spark to your story. That’s the promise: harmony in the details, and inspiration for the day when everything starts. Expect venues to tour, ideas to borrow, and plenty of photo-ready corners under wide skies.
Spring through autumn in the saddle
From March into late autumn, the weekly boarding cadence becomes the heartbeat of Kincsem Equestrian Park (Kincsem Lovaspark). Riders can settle into training routines, weekend hacks, and quiet morning grooming rituals. Spring brings longer rides, summer draws families to the paddocks and pony rings, and autumn lays golden light over the arenas. The park’s location—about 60 km (37 miles) from Budapest—makes it realistic for city riders to join a country stable without losing whole days to travel.
Family-friendly touches all year
The big-ticket days are balanced with gentle, family-focused moments: carriage rides that move at a horse’s pace, pony rides that turn shy first-timers into grinning regulars, and craft corners where small hands keep busy while the grown-ups take in the scene. The artisan fairs that pop up with major events bring ceramics, textiles, and handmade gifts—perfect for pocketing a piece of the day.

Why Tápiószentmárton?
Because it blends the romance of the Hungarian plains with a working horse culture you can actually step into. Kincsem Equestrian Park (Kincsem Lovaspark) is a place where one weekend you’re waltzing in a ballroom, the next you’re tasting hand-stuffed hurka, and in between you’re brushing down a gelding as the sun drops behind the tree line. It’s not just a schedule—it’s a year-long invitation to be part of a living, breathing horse park.
