Carpathian Basin Pork Feast Festival

The event aims to highlight the connection between small-scale farming and gastronomy, offering the public a chance to discover unique, terroir-style cheese specialties born from the alliance of nature, milk, and the producer. Of course, visitors also have the opportunity to stock up on delicacies for the Lenten season, as artisan producers will offer cheeses, honey, tea herbs, jams, and other gourmet specialties at the event. The event is organized every April. 

The event serves as a professional guideline for producers while also functioning as a community gathering for lovers of traditional flavors. Thanks to the Association of Szekler Economic Organizations (SZGE), the two-day event attracts large crowds to the pedestrian street of Harghita County’s capital.  The event is held every year between March and April. 

The primary goal of the competition is to promote the cultured consumption of distillates and pálinka in Transylvania, with a special focus on centuries-old traditions and modern quality standards. Participants receive detailed feedback on the sensory characteristics of their submitted samples, provided by highly experienced international judges. The competition also aims to support the business category by enhancing marketing tools and commercial opportunities, while encouraging high-quality production among individual participants. CATEGORIES: • Business category: Open to commercial enterprises that produce or distribute distillates/pálinka. • Individual category: Open to private distillers or individuals who have their distillates produced at a contract distillery. The competition is held every May.

In the Living Library we can meet folk musicians, puppeteers, horsemen, seamstresses, woodcarvers, basket weavers, embroiderers and many other craftsmen who can give us an insight into their daily lives.  The festival is held every August.
