Hollókő once again welcomes visitors to its three-day Easter festival, where lovers of tradition, folk dance and gastronomy will all find programmes suited to them.
Hungary's only rural World Heritage site will host the famous Easter Festival between April 19-21 this year. The event aims to revive Palóc Easter customs while welcoming visitors with a colourful programme.
The festival begins on Holy Saturday, when visitors can gain insight into Palóc traditions in the streets of Ófalu. Alongside demonstrations of folk crafts, folk programmes and folk dance take a central role. The Nógrád Dance Ensemble and Hollókő Folk Dance Ensemble invite the curious with dance instruction and interactive dance games.
On Easter Sunday, visitors can take part in the traditional Hollókő Easter-sprinkling celebration, one of the settlement's most popular attractions. Events taking place at the church and lower well are accompanied by folk songs and dance performed by the FOLT band. The day's highlight will be the grand concert by Kerekes Band and Petrás Mária on the Pajtakert main stage.
The festival's gastronomic offer leaves nothing to be desired: visitors can taste the finest of Palóc cuisine, including traditional plum dumplings, prepared by the Kétbodonyi Tradition Keepers. Local producers entice the curious with artisanal delicacies and homemade pastries.
The festival continues on Easter Monday, with the FONÓ Folk Dance Ensemble and RITMUSA band creating the atmosphere. Children are entertained with craft activities and playful folk programmes.
Entry to the festival is by ticket, which includes access to Hollókő Ófalu and all programmes. Further information and the detailed programme are available on the festival's official website.
