On April 25, 2026, Mór throws open the gates to St. George Week’s festivities, the town’s spring celebration that brings folk craft stalls, kid-friendly activities, and live concerts to Lamberg Castle Park (Lamberg-kastély parkja) and the main stage on Kapucinus Square (Kapucinus tér). The one-day program blends tradition with a relaxed small-town vibe, backed by the Mór wine region’s hospitality and history. Families, foodies, and music lovers can expect an easygoing outdoor day packed with color, culture, and plenty of reasons to linger after sunset.
Where and when
The festival takes place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Lamberg Castle Park (Lamberg-kastély parkja), with concerts on the main stage at Kapucinus Square (Kapucinus tér). The venue is right in Mór, a Central Transdanubian town set between the Vértes and Bakony mountains, an area renowned as one of Hungary’s historic wine regions. The setting is as scenic as it gets: castle grounds, leafy parkland, and a walkable town center that turns into a festive corridor of music and makers.
What to expect
A folk arts market anchors the day, with artisans setting up a craft fair (kirakodóvásár) where handmade textiles, woodwork, ceramics, and traditional crafts change hands alongside street eats and local treats. Kids get their own program lineup: games, creative workshops, and interactive shows keep little ones busy while parents wander the stalls or camp out near the main stage. Concerts roll through the afternoon and evening, spanning folk-inspired sets and crowd-pleasing performers. It’s the kind of event where you drift between music, makers, and family corners without losing sight of the castle lawns.
Staying in Mór
Expect a tight-knit selection of stays within walking distance or a short ride of the park. In the town center sits a character-rich boutique hotel tucked on a tranquil, nearly 300-year-old street. It offers 25 rooms and 5 apartments furnished with painted and carved Austrian pieces that nod to the local Swabian heritage, plus rooms dressed in old German furniture and a lineup of Neo-Baroque suites. The aesthetic leans into period charm without skimping on comfort, giving festival-goers a distinctive base for the weekend.
Also central is a guesthouse that functions like a compact hotel right in the heart of the Mór wine region. Open year-round, it offers 1-, 2-, and 3-bed rooms, with air-conditioned superior rooms featuring private bathrooms and TVs. There’s also an apartment unit with a kitchen and bath, and the entire property is wheelchair-accessible and elevator-equipped. With a capacity of 50 beds, it’s ideal for groups; guests get free Wi‑Fi throughout the house, secure parking in a closed lot, and valuables stored in a safe on request.
For larger groups and budget-friendly stays, the House of Serving Love, operated by the Mór Reformed Church Congregation, accommodates up to 39 guests throughout the year. It’s well equipped and provides bed linen and towels. In autumn, spring, and winter, it doubles as a great base for forest school programs, especially for class trips. It’s a practical, community-rooted option for those coming as a crowd.
On the edge of town, a wellness hotel with its own equestrian park and covered riding hall looks out over mountain panoramas. Inside: 31 rooms and 4 suites, a breakfast room, a wellness section, and a pool bar. Rooms feature furniture by Austria’s Voglauer, tipping them into the modern-elegant camp, while a honeymoon room stands out with Austrian folk-style peasant furniture and a canopy bed. The property is scheduled to reopen on April 3, 2026—just in time to settle in before festival day.
Eat, sip, repeat
Food options span casual downtown dining and deep dives into local wine. A long-running choice is the ARA Restaurant in the heart of Mór, open Monday to Saturday, 11:00–22:00, with a garden terrace to make the most of good weather. It’s an easy bet for a pre-show meal or a wind-down dinner after the headliners wrap.
Wine lovers can head underground into nearly 300-year-old cellars maintained by a family winery founded in 1991. Farming 25 hectares today, they produce in small lots rather than for the mass market, focusing on individuality and terroir. Expect fresh, youthful, aromatic wines alongside dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet bottles and specialty releases. Their Wine Museum is open all year—book a tasting to soak up the region’s grape and wine heritage, browse the viticulture tool exhibition, and tour the historic cellars. Among the treasures: a museum-level collection of Mór’s historic wines, stored and matured on site.
Newer on the scene, Brigád Winery traces its story back to 2013, when a group of young winemakers produced their first wine in Mór. They now cultivate 3 hectares and aim to highlight the hallmarks of their growing sites with character-forward bottlings. It’s a modern counterpoint to the town’s centuries-old cellar culture and a reminder that this region’s wine story is still being written.
Tradition at the core
Mór’s wine fraternity plays a visible role across the St. George festivities, turning up at events, tastings, and ceremonial investitures. The order’s mission is to preserve and elevate the area’s vine-growing and winemaking traditions, keep professional standards front and center, and nudge newcomers toward excellence. They’re also co-organizers of Mór Wine Days (Móri Bornapok), the town’s major autumn wine festival, and maintain active ties with neighboring wine orders—another sign of how deeply wine culture runs through the community calendar.
Plan your day
With everything clustered around Lamberg Castle Park (Lamberg-kastély parkja) and the Kapucinus Square (Kapucinus tér) stage, it’s easy to pivot from kids’ corners to concert lawns to tasting rooms. Book your stay early if you want a room with character or a mountain-view wellness break. Come for the crafts, stay for the music, and leave with a few bottles and a calendar reminder to return in autumn for Wine Days (Bornapok). Mór may be small, but during St. George Week, it lives large.
