The story

Szeged Wine Festival in Szeged

A roughly ten-day May wine and gastronomy fair across Szeged's central squares, run by the city's market operating company since the mid-1990s as part of the Szeged Napja celebrations, distinct from the older Dom Square theatre festival. Many local families treat specific weekday evenings during the run as a standing tradition for a casual dinner among the stalls.

Szeged's Szechenyi Square and surrounding downtown streets fill each May with a wine and gastronomy fair that shares only a city with the much older Szeged Open-Air Festival staged across town on Dom Square.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Despite sharing a city with Szeged's famous open-air theatre festival, this is a purely gastronomic market with no performance component, run by a different organizer, in a different season, and at a different downtown location

02

The mystery stays covered

Its roughly ten-day run, longer than most single-weekend wine fairs elsewhere in Hungary, gives visitors and locals alike the flexibility to return on multiple evenings rather than compressing everything into one single visit, sampling a different wine region's producers each time they stop by
