If you can’t get enough of fish dishes and lively festival energy, Hungary has you covered in 2025. The classic Fish Festival (Halfesztivál) lands in Siófok from October 10th to 12th, bringing lakeside feasting and entertainment to the city. Another favorite, the Fish Festival in Tata (Tatai Halfesztivál), kicks off from October 24th to 26th, promising more delicious traditions and activities right by the water.
More Than Just Fish
But the fish frenzy doesn’t stop there. Throughout October, different towns host their own Fish Festival (Halfesztivál) celebrations, starting as early as October 3rd to 5th. For a culinary twist, don’t miss the 6th Stuffed Cabbage and Pancake Festival (VI. Töltött Káposzta és Palacsinta Fesztivál) from October 23rd to 26th—perfect for anyone wanting to balance all that fish with some hearty cabbage or sweet pancakes.
