Soon enough, the weekends will arrive when we'll have to fight for every bit of shade on the beach and only be able to tolerate the heat in the water. Until then, we can enjoy a wide range of colourful programmes on the shore!

The Zamárdi Soundtrack Festival promises to be a real treat among the weekend programmes. Hopes are that all ages in Zamárdi will waltz and/or rock to world-famous soundtracks. The 3-day festival will also include a street party and several concerts by Hungarians stars.

Charmed by rétes

Do you have a sweet tooth? Head to the Rétes and Wedding Festival in Balatonedres! Taste 20 different types of rétes and see how traditional wedding dishes are cooked. If you're about to wed, pay close attention to see how the bridal dance, the broom dance and the wedding procession are done traditionally!

Go west!

In the meantime, in the western corner of the Balaton only beer will flow from the taps. The alcohol will of course be accompanied by live music and delicious bites at the Vonyarcvashegy Craft Beer and Homely Flavours Festival.

Only a village away, the Day of Roman Age Merriment and Open Cellars will await everyone with Roman Age gastronomical specialities and wine tasting at the Szépkilátó of Balatongyörök and in the Jüngling Zoltán Community Centre from Friday to Sunday.
