Nagykőrös throws open its gates for ten bustling fairs in 2026, offering a vibrant mix of tradition, trade, and open-air revelry. Set at Alsójárás dűlő 1 (Land Reg. No. 0247), the markets draw crowds for clothing, gifts, plants, and a full range of livestock and pets. Expect horse, cattle, pig, goat, sheep, and poultry sellers, plus small-animal vendors, alongside a colorful cast of artisans, food vendors, and entertainers keeping centuries-old customs alive.
Centuries of Privilege
The city’s right to hold fairs dates back to a royal charter, later affirmed by the Apostolic Royal Majesty Maria Theresa in December 1759. Honoring that legacy, the orderly council of Nagykőrös set the 2026 market days below. Heirs to the horsemen, herdsmen, swineherds, and shepherds are welcome to drive in all “legged stock,” from steers to mixed breeds. Also expected: today’s keepers of old guild crafts, merchants, grill stalls, minstrels, jesters, fire-eaters, showfolk, and criers—all who bear a true seal of trade and pay the market toll in good faith. Issued in 2026, signed by Dr. Szabolcs Czira, Mayor of the market town of Nagykőrös.
