The King's Festival awaits those interested in the former legendary location of medieval parliaments on the Királydomb of Rákosmeze, which has been declared a national memorial site. On September 10-11, the family-friendly traditional festival will be held for the second time!
In 2020, at the suggestion of the Community of Hungarian Patriots, the parliament declared Királydomb, the site of the medieval Rákosmeze parliaments, where King Matthias was elected king, from where the Hungarian warriors marched to war, and where a country declared that it would never again ask for a foreign ruler, to be a national monument.
The aim of the Királyfest, which will take place for the second time this year, is to bring back to the public consciousness the place where the ancestors decided the fate of the country.
At the King's Festival on September 10-11, traditionalists will reenact the election of János Hunyadi as governor, and there will also be spectacular medieval battle demonstrations, old music concerts, archery, a folk art fair and a petting zoo.
The Historical Military Academy Foundation is also participating in the organization of the King's Festival this year, and they are waiting for the youngest with exciting war games, such as duels.
The most popular attraction of last year's King's Festival, the former huge, reconstructed tent of the Hungarian kings, which, according to tradition, stood at the highest point of the Rákos field, on the top of King's Hill, will be erected again.
In the field below the hill, the main role will also be played by medieval programs: in the tradition-preserving crowd, those interested can learn about the crafts of the time, and children can enjoy a medieval playground courtesy of the Compania tradition-preserving team. On the stage, which this year will be located under a medieval tent, the early music ensembles Hollóének Hungarica and Tabulatúra, as well as the dance hall of the Számadó orchestra await the audience.
A new feature of this year's King's Festival is the special performance tent, where those interested can learn more about the Hungarian Middle Ages.
The event is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation and the National Cohesion Foundation and, like last year, can be visited free of charge.
