Harvest traditions and equestrian heritage of Váci Mező

September 28, 2026
By: Gerd Alscher

A long-standing autumn celebration was hosted by our Europea school in Vác, Hungary. This annual event serves as a vital cultural bridge, connecting modern students with the traditional values of peasant and equestrian life. Participants engage in various activities such as cooking competitions and festive parades to honor the history of the harvest. Beyond simple recreation, the festival acts as a community-building event that reinforces professional pride among future agricultural experts. Ultimately, the gathering preserves local folklore and communal work ethics through a vibrant showcase of traditional folk costumes and regional gastronomy.
