Free programs in Hungary for November
Change language:
The closeness of winter puts a mark on our November mood. It is getting colder, getting harder to deal with the cloudy days. However, the great amount of flavours, scents and some alcohol can make us feel better, so it would be a shame to sulk under the blanket. Especially, because the majority of these programs collected by Travelo – except the food – cost nothing.
Mangalica in Szeged, free zoo in Budapest
We can offer you many things to do on the first weekend of November. There is a Mangalica festival in Szeged, where the long-hair mangalica is on the table. By wandering around you can meet the farmers, taste pálinka, cheese and jam, and, if you get hungry, you can put the icing on the cake by eating pork dishes made here. Details on the website. The kids will be very happy about the animal exhibition. There is no ticket for the festival, you only have to pay for consumption.
Museum or Pálinka
If hearing “slide-projecting” makes you smile in a nostalgic way, then go to Erkel theatre on 7th November for Nagy Dia Nap (Great Slide-projecting Day). Younger and older audience can both feel great during the free event.
Great news for culture lovers that the Fall Festival of the Museums lasts until 13th November. There are many events all around that aim to say goodbye to fall, check the list here.
If November, then St. Martin’s Day, which means: goose. So the second weekend of November will be loud of cackling. You can taste those gooses in Siófok, where delicious food, wines, cheeses, pálinka and great street music awaits the visitors during the 8th St. Martin’s Day Pálinka Festival.
St. Martin’s day Goose Dinner happens with the collaboration of Eger and Debrecen; Debrecen gives the goose and Eger the wine. The 3 days-long event takes place on the main square of Debrecen, on Kossuth square. The delicious dishes will be cooked in a open-view kitchen, and usually 8000 portion of food is eaten during the 3 days.
