2025.11.08. Autumn Rendezvous begins at 5:00 p.m. at the Gizella Hotel and Restaurant, inviting everyone for an evening of stories, music, and community. Writer Anna Karády and her husband, Máté Molnár, sit down for a candid conversation about marriage and family. Then the Berzeviczi couple, Zoli and Rita, take the stage with their joint musical-literary show, Bending to Time. Kids are welcome, too—there will be children’s activities during the program. Spread the word to friends and family. The evening promises true nourishment for relationships, deeper conversations in a larger circle, and yes, bring a bit of homemade cake if you can. Free entry, but registration is required until seats run out.
