The Madéfalvi Onion Festival has started.
The 14th Madéfalvi Onion Festival started with a bicycle parade, professional forums and a municipal football tournament. The event offers a rich gastronomic and cultural program to those interested on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday, we also joined the bicycle onion tour.
For the fourteenth time, the municipality of Madéfalva organized the onion festival revolving around the characteristic product of the settlement. The series of programs was opened by a municipal football tournament on Thursday, for the sake of historical fidelity, we note that Csíkszentsimon's team defended its title, so they did not have to borrow the traveling cup from the display case for a long time.
Among the events, farmers from the area were invited to the professional forums on onion cultivation on Friday, followed by the bicycle parade leading up the "main days" on Saturday-Sunday. Cyclists gathered at the market square half an hour before the scheduled departure at 6 p.m. Young people, families and groups of friends prepared to tour the village of Felcík on two wheels. Tents for the fair starting on Saturday were already set up on the fairground, which served as the starting point, and the main stage is also waiting for the weekend performers. For those who want to relax and chill, a huge tent with beer benches and tables was built.
The nearly two hundred cyclists set off in a great mood, led by Romeo, whose bike undoubtedly outshines his peers. Proof that the age-old cliché that the world is really small is true: the writer of these lines was delighted to discover a long-lost acquaintance from Mogyoród among the rollers, with whom he engaged in a long conversation and did not even notice the distance of nine kilometers (Mogyoród sister settlement of Madefalva).
On the other hand, it was all the more noticeable to the participants that most of the journey could be done on a high-quality bicycle path.
