Pákozd Homeland Defence Festival

Multi-day military-heritage festival at the Pákozd Military Memorial Park (Mészeg Hill), commemorating the 29 September 1848 Battle of Pákozd, the first Hungarian victory of the war of independence against the Habsburg-aligned Croatian army under Josip Jelačić. The programme spans Hungarian military history from the medieval Order of King Andrew I to the present, with hussar and infantry heritage-group camps, cavalry demonstrations, and commemorative ceremonies at the battlefield on the closing days.

The programme for the next edition hasn’t been published yet. It goes up here as soon as the organiser releases it.

Free admission throughout ("a Honvédfesztál programjai ingyenesen látogathatók"). The main festival day is Saturday 26 September, 10:00–17:00, at the Katonai Emlékpark Pákozd (Military Memorial Park), Mészeg-hegy, 8095 Pákozd, with Sunday 27 September held in reserve as a weather backup date. Two smaller commemorative ceremonies follow on separate days: Monday 28 September at 17:00, a war-council memorial service at Sukoró's Reformed church, and Tuesday 29 September at 10:00, the wreath-laying on the battle's 178th anniversary.
