Cons
–
The festival and the village aren’t internationally famous, so advance info in English may be limited
–
Some Hungarian will help; you can get by with smiles and pointing, but detailed explanations and schedules may be Hungarian-only
–
Public transit can be slower or involve transfers; driving is simpler if you’re on a tight schedule
–
Compared to massive doughnut fests in the U.S., this is smaller-scale with fewer vendors and side attractions
