Invitation: Easter Festival In Hollókő, 8 - 9 April
- 6 Apr 2012 9:01 AM
Easter is a two-day holiday in Hungary, celebrated with great fanfare and religious fervor. This year the whole village of Hollókő will celebrate Easter from early in the morning in ornamented folk clothes. There will be traditional water pouring, egg painting and Hungarian dishes. Also there will be a full-day of folklore programmes, a display of folk arts and crafts for purchase, artisan presentations, gastronomic specialities, and Easter games for children.
Hollókö, the most beautiful gem in the gently rolling Palóc scenery, has been a World Heritage Site since 1987. The embracing slopes of the Cserhát hills have protected the small houses hiding in a valley from the gales of history, so the village has been able to preserve its authentic charm.
