In the heart of Tokaj-Hegyalja, nestled on the banks of the Bodrog River, this picturesque settlement welcomes visitors with a harvest festival. On September 13, Olaszliszka will be a centre of tradition and entertainment. A true cultural and community celebration promises unforgettable experiences.
The Olaszliszka Harvest Festival begins on September 13 at 9 a.m. with a spectacular parade. The harvest procession travels through the village streets in colourful costumes, with music and cheerful atmosphere.
After lunch, at 14:45 there will be a formal welcome, followed from 15:00 with a folk song and operetta programme featuring Andrea Varga and Milán Kriston. Dance enthusiasts will have plenty to enjoy as well. From 16:00, the Bodrog Folk Dance Ensemble takes the stage, and at 17:00, the children's favourite, the Csiribiri ensemble, brings colour to the afternoon. In the evening, the energetic production of One Life Dance brings the true festival spirit, crowned at 19:00 by the traditional harvest ball.
The festival is not just about stage programmes. Throughout the day, visitors are welcomed by additional attractions. Children will delight in the rocking horse and the puffing little train, while craft workshops and face painting offer genuine family experiences. The petting zoo enchants the youngest visitors, while adults can receive helpful advice and health screenings in the health tent.
Tradition and nature conservation hand in hand
What makes this event special is that not only local culture and wine-making traditions are highlighted, but also nature conservation. With the cooperation of the Bodrog Association and the Green Circle, an information stand and eco-playground await visitors, making environmental awareness part of the festival.
