The Libafesztivál is Kiskunfélegyháza's annual goose festival, celebrating the region’s centuries-old tradition of goose farming and gastronomy 1. Held in mid-September, it features goose meat cooking contests, folk song and dance performances, craft fairs, and dinner events. Attendees can taste traditional goose dishes (gibánymáj, lúronka) and watch cultural shows, reflecting the local rural heritage of the Kiskunság.
Goose husbandry has been a historic livelihood in Kiskunfélegyháza and surrounding villages. The festival evokes this heritage by making goose dishes central, alongside folk arts and a ceremonial opening. It reinforces rural identity ("Ludas Matyi" tale is even performed) and connects the community through shared culinary tradition.
