The story

Tokaj Harvest Days in Tokaj

Founded in 1932 by parliamentarian Miklos Lazar with delegations from neighboring villages from its very first edition, Tokaj Harvest Days centers on an early-October parade of mounted wine riders and decorated floats through the town's Festival Courtyard and Wine Courtyard. Many surrounding hillside wineries open their own doors on the same weekend as an informal extension of the festivities.

Regional member of parliament Miklos Lazar initiated the first Tokaj Harvest Days in 1932, drawing government visitors to an inaugural Harvest Week that included markets and exhibitions alongside the procession itself.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The 1932 founding edition already included delegations from four neighboring wine villages, making this a genuinely regional, multi-village tradition from its inception rather than a single-town event that later expanded, and visitors move between venues via a sightseeing train and electric minibus

02

The mystery stays covered

Many surrounding hillside wineries independently open their own cellars on the same weekend, effectively extending the town's official festival programming into an informal region-wide open-cellar event that stretches well beyond the parade route itself
