On September 13, 2025, Boldogkő Castle (Boldogkőváralja) will transform into a paradise for food and festival lovers with its Pork Knuckle & Pálinka Day. This autumn celebration is all about crispy, oven-roasted pork knuckles paired with top-notch pálinka—try gönci apricot (gönci barack), quince, Williams pear, or even raspberry varieties. Lazy, sunlit hours, delicious aromas, and medieval vibes promise unforgettable summer memories just as the season comes to a close.
Food, Drink, and Medieval Fun
Expect a packed program: visit booths where you can touch historical weapons, watch the castle’s animated history film, and check out craft demonstrations where you can carve your own wooden cup, mold a clay mug, or even forge a lucky horseshoe. Guided tours with costumed actors bring the regal halls to life throughout the day.
Family Vibes and Live Performances
Kids will love Réka Farkasházy and the Ink Rabbit (Tintanyúl) concert, while adults can enjoy live medieval weapon shows from the Wandering Knights (Kóborlovagok), armored 14th-century horsemen, and stilt-walking street theater. Performances by Számadó Band (Számadó Zenekar) and concerts by Ildi Rider and Gypo Circus will keep the party going into the evening.
Your ticket covers all exhibitions, events, and concerts—just keep in mind that schedules may change!
