Fish Days Festival (Halas Napok), Tiszafured
Not only the lives but also the food of the
residents of Tiszafüred is greatly influenced
by the River and the Lake Tisza. This is what the Fish
Days Festival is all about. Offering not only tasty dishes made of fish, it also
offers entertainment alongside events of a traditional and sporting
nature.
Ordinarily the fish soup contest
(halászléfőző verseny) takes place on the second day of the Fish Days
celebration. Contestants and their guests have the opportunity to become
familiar with the flavours typical of the region and may also taste fish roasted
on a spit or cooked in traditional kettles (bogrács) over the fire.
During the gastronomic contests a
volleyball championship is held on the beach. Complimentary to the entertainment
programme there are also stands with handicrafts and gifts, folk dance, modern
dance and majorette presentations, along with concerts and discos.
