The story
Skanzen Easter Festival Szentendre in Szentendre
At Skanzen, Hungary's open-air ethnographic museum in Szentendre, this two-day Easter Sunday and Monday festival revives rural spring customs including locsolkodas water-sprinkling, egg decorating and rolling, and wreath-making across the museum's relocated historic homesteads. Craftspeople stationed throughout the buildings demonstrate period-accurate techniques matched to each structure's original region.
Hungary's Open-Air Ethnographic Museum in Szentendre, known simply as Skanzen, relocates entire historic rural buildings from across Hungary's traditional regions onto one site, and each Easter Sunday and Monday the museum's historic homesteads become the stage for a two-day festival reviving old rural spring customs.
