Gulyás festival
Food, dance, art, music, and mouth-watering sampling of Hungarian Cuisine!
At the heart of the Hungarian tradition are customs that celebrate life with delectable food, festive music, and dance, as well as a renowned hospitality amongst family and friends.
​
You will find all the classic favorites (bottomless gulyás pot, lángos, mititei, crepes, kürtÅ‘skalács), and new favorites (Vegetarian gulyás and gulyás with beans - a Hungarian version of chili that comes with beans, sour cream, and paprika.).
​
Check out our merchandise tents with an extended variety of goodies to take home. Jewelry, t-shirts, keychains, sunglasses, bottle openers, fridge magnets, tote bags, shot glasses, beer mugs, aprons, and more will be available for purchase.
​
In addition, our festival provides a safe and fun children's area complete with games, face painting, balloon artist, and other fun activities to keep the kids entertained.

FUN FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
A day filled with fun games, a giant sandbox and bouncy castles. A day filled with joy and laughter. A day when you can get your face painted and a balloon artist will make your favorite animal. A day when you get to eat ice cream, sweet crepes, watermelon and drink cool fruit juices. Who wouldn’t want to have a day like that? How about two then?
This year we doubled the fun for kids so that parents can catch a break, sit back and just relax. Enjoy delicious food, have a cold beer or a sip of pálinka, and listen to live music.
Check out our merchandise tents, as well, with an expanded variety of goodies to take home.
