Important programmes and festivals

International Shearer and Sheep-Stew Cooking Contest

Among the programs are sheep-shearing – both manual and mechanical -, cooking traditional sheep-dishes and equestrian performances.  Arts and crafts and various cultural programs are also important part of the contest.

Programmes are designed to fit to children all characters and ages: arts and crafts, puppet-show, concerts, rushes, sports and many others. The families can participate the festival free of charge. 

May-fly Festival

In the focus of the May-fly Festival is the River Tisza with its flora and fauna, especially the unique spectacular flight of the may-flies. Both festival days offer diverse programmes to all visitors: culture, music, gastronomy are all present on the Tisza-bank under the shadows of the horse chestnut-alley. We would like this festival to become traditional event each June in our town.
