Nagykőrös rolls out ten bustling fairs in 2026 at Alsójárás dűlő 1 (Parcel No. 0247), where the market vibe hits full tilt with clothing, gifts, plants, livestock, and pets. Expect animal traders with horses, cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, and small animals, plus crafts, goods, and plenty of merrymaking. The fair typically runs until 1–2 p.m., weather permitting.
Royal roots, living tradition
The city’s market privilege traces back to a royal charter, later affirmed by the Apostolic Queen Maria Theresa in December 1759. Keeping that legacy alive, Nagykőrös’s council schedules fair days through 2026, inviting the heirs of horsemen, herdsmen, swineherds, and shepherds to drive in all manner of stock, from draft animals to other cattle. Also welcome: today’s heirs of old guild trades, merchants, and street kitchens; bards, minstrels, comedians, fire-eaters, jesters, and town criers—anyone who proves their craft with a sealed mark and pays the market toll in good faith.
