It was a relaxed event with sparkling programmes, good vibes and BBQ smoke. No stiffness and no over-specialisation. It was a fuss-free event, rich in exciting programmes, where not only Székesfehérvár, but the whole region got the experience it had been longing for. Simply put: a great time was had by all! Without exaggeration, it can be said that this is a start, a first step that not only the profession but the whole region can look forward to.

Dr András Cser-Palkovics, The Mayor of Székesfehérvár said: „I would like to thank the organisers of this event! Let me state that the demand for this event is clearly unquestionable. I trust that everyone had a great experience and a new gastronomic festival was born in Székesfehérvár. For my part, I can definitely say that we will do our utmost to help it continue.”
Quality entertainment, excellent gastronomy
The demand for quality is no longer just the prerogative of top gastronomy, but is slowly seeping into everyday life, even in the home. This has led to a strong demand for festivals that introduce people to unique gastronomic experiences and flavours. In addition, the festival has provided Fehérvár and its surrounding region with a community experience. The organisers said that seeing the success of the event, there will surely be a continuation.
