This year, hunting and fishing will be the main theme , so the related activities will be in focus. This year, visitors can get to know the occupations grouped around hunting and fishing, such as the knife, leather, horn and bone carving professions, but they can also get a glimpse of the masterstrokes of fishing net making. Exhibitors line up from Kapistrán Square to Mátyás Temple. Another novelty is that this year the festival will be free to visit for the first time , thereby supporting families who come to the event with children.
In addition to nearly a thousand Hungarian masters, the festival has been hosting foreign craftsmen for years.
