An automobile and motorcycle exhibition opens the outdoor program on Friday afternoon, adding chrome and horsepower to the festival vibe.

Stay, unwind, and explore around Lovasberény
In the area, accommodations and experiences lean into nature and comfort. Options include two triple-bed apartments with private bathrooms and a conference room, complete with a well-equipped shared kitchen and dining area, plus a yard set up for outdoor kettle cooking. These spaces often host all-day events like weddings and film shoots.
Just outside town, the Lujza-major fishing lake offers five separate two-story, heated, full-comfort houses right on the shore, about 98 feet apart. Each has a ground-floor kitchen, living room, and bathroom, with five beds in an open-plan upstairs. The 20-hectare lake features 50 fishing spots, stocked with carp, grass carp, crucian carp, and wels catfish. An archery course lines the bank with 19 animal targets, two shots each per round. The fairy-tale setting, winding forest paths, and broad grassy meadow make it a prime site for wedding photos, team-building, and large events—tents can be raised for bigger crowds.
Wine lovers can duck into a Lovasberény cellar where white and red wines mature at a steady 55.4°F. Groups, companies, and friends often book tastings that delve into grape parameters and winemaking techniques, with generous pours to help visitors pick their favorites to drink or buy.
