On March 15, Szentendre's Skanzen awaits its visitors with a festive program again: a hussar camp, equestrian parades and recruitment will color the program on the occasion of the 1848 revolution.
As it is written, on this day, the museum area will be populated by the hussars of the Legacy Cavalry Association, who will bring the daily life of the hussars closer to the visitors with games of skill, demonstrations, and hussar training, and present their military skills, clothing, and weapons, the Szentendre Open-Air Ethnography Museum says in a statement.
Those interested can learn about the history of the March 15th youth, test their skills at the training school and become soldiers during the music and dance recruitment, the organizers write.
Craft sessions are also held, where visitors can make accessories for 1848 costumes. In addition to the hussar's mace, wooden sword and cockade, those interested can also make a bracelet, badge and party in national colors. They can taste the popular dish of Transylvanian cuisine, puliška, but one of Sándor Petőfi's favorites, the tuffertyűs pócás, will also be on the table, the announcement reads.
As they say, in the Transylvanian building complex, visitors can hear about the Transylvanian events of the 1848-49 War of Independence and the Transylvanian locations of Sándor Petőfi's life.
On the occasion of the holiday, the monument to the 1848 national guard of the Transylvanian building complex will be laid a wreath in the Skanzen.
The Szentendre Skanzen awaits its visitors with full opening hours after the holiday, from April 1.
