Every first Sunday of the month in 2026, Jászapáti’s National Animal and Street Market takes over 52 István Király Road (István Király út 52), delivering a riot of colors, aromas, and old-school trading buzz from 7:00 to 13:00. Expect artisan goods from local makers, fresh cheeses and cured meats, piles of vegetables and fruit, plus a hearty lineup of herbal and organic products. Early birds score the best picks—some stalls sell out by midday.
The town’s market roots run deep: in 1746, Maria Theresa granted Jászapáti city status and the right to host four national fairs. This year marks the 280th anniversary of that charter, and the market leans into the heritage with a wide, quirky mix of “real finds” from veteran traders and new faces alike.
Location: 5130 Jászapáti, 52 István Király Road (István Király út 52).
2026 dates: Mar 1; Apr 5; May 3; Jun 7; Jul 5; Aug 2; Sep 6; Oct 4; Nov 8 (shifted one week for All Saints’ Day); Dec 6.
