Time Out Market Budapest invites visitors to enjoy a captivating November programme filled with unique events

Budapest’s cultural life is just as vibrant as its gastronomy, and Time Out Market Budapest brings together the very best of both throughout the year with a diverse range of programmes and events that celebrate the city’s flavours and cultural diversity. Concerts, performances, and colourful activities highlight local talents week after week. Now, the November cultural programme line-up has arrived, offering countless new experiences and opportunities to unwind – whether you’re looking for a family outing, a get-together with friends, or a moment of personal inspiration.

Time Out Market Budapest, which opened its doors at the end of September in the iconic Corvin Palace on Blaha Lujza Square, has already become one of the capital’s most exciting gastronomic and cultural destinations. The Market’s unique concept brings the best of the city – and beyond – together under one roof: a curated mix of top chefs, restaurateurs, drinks, and cultural experiences. Launched in Lisbon in 2014, the Time Out Market concept has since grown into a global network. Budapest is now one of 13 locations worldwide, joining the ranks of major cities such as New York, Montréal, Osaka, Cape Town, and Dubai.

11 November 2025, Tuesday: Libalicious – St. Martin’s Day at Time Out Market Budapest

St. Martin’s Day is one of the most well-known autumn traditions, celebrated with goose dishes and good wine according to custom. The holiday is linked to Saint Martin, bishop of Tours, who was admired for his kindness and humility. Legend has it that when he tried to hide to avoid being appointed bishop, the honking of geese gave away his hiding place – making the goose a lasting symbol of St. Martin’s Day. The occasion also marked the last great feast before the Advent fast, traditionally celebrated with hearty meals and cheerful festivities.

On November 11, Time Out Market Budapest invites guests on a special gastronomic journey featuring goose, wine, and live music. On this day, everything revolves around the goose: participating restaurants will offer carefully curated, unique St. Martin’s Day dishes in honor of the occasion. St. Martin’s Day is also known as a celebration for winemakers, as it traditionally marks the time when the first new wines of the year are ready.

At Time Out Market Budapest, this evening will see the debut of Vylyan Bogyólé’s 2025 vintage, which guests will have the chance to taste here first. To mark the occasion, each St. Martin’s Day goose dish comes with a complimentary glass of Vylyan Bogyólé (while supplies last), making the experience truly complete. Everyone is warmly invited to savour the finest goose dishes, raise a glass to the new vintage, and enjoy the sounds of live jazz at this evening rich in flavour and music.
