Kiskőrös Harvest and Slovak Ethnic DaysKiskőrösi Szüret és Szlovák Nemzetiségi Napok

The Kiskőrös Harvest and Slovak Ethnic Days is an annual late summer festival celebrating local wine harvest traditions and the Slovak minority heritage in the town. Held over a weekend in early September, it features folk music and dance, harvest parades, wine and food tastings, and community gatherings. The event highlights Kiskőrös’ historic Slovak culture ("nemzetiségi") within local identity 1.

Kiskőrös was historically home to a significant Slovak community. The festival reflects these roots, with folk ensembles and church services honoring Slovak traditions. It also celebrates the annual wine harvest, typical of the region’s viticulture. This blend of harvest festivities and ethnic heritage has been cultivated for decades as a defining cultural moment for locals.
