The event on 20 August pays tribute to tradition, whilst offering an excellent opportunity for relaxation for both tourists visiting Hajdúszoboszló and local residents. The blessing of the festive bread is one of the most important events, symbolising a sense of community and respect for Hungarian traditions as part of the New Bread Festival.

The organisers promise a festive atmosphere that the whole family will enjoy. The full programme will be available shortly, and admission to the event is free for all visitors.
