Nagykörű throws open its main square on Saturday, June 13, 2026, for the Great Cherry Fair, a full-day celebration of the now protected-origin Nagykörű Crisp Cherry (Nagykörűi Ropogós Cseresznye). Local growers bring their best fruit for tasting and, of course, bags and baskets to take home. It’s peak season on the Tisza River, and the village leans into it with pride and plenty of sweet, snappy cherries.
Where and when
Find it in the heart of Nagykörű, postal code 5065, on Main Square (Főtér). The date is set for June 13, 2026. Organizers reserve the right to change the time and program, so check for updates before you travel.
What to expect
Stalls brim with premium varieties straight from the orchards, with growers inviting you to taste before you buy. The protected-status Crisp Cherry is the star—firm, fragrant, and irresistibly crisp. Expect plenty of seasonal food and drink options built around local produce, plus the kind of small-town buzz that turns a market day into a mini festival.
