Every February or March there’s a folk festival in Miskolc to mark the end of winter.

The event takes place over a weekend in the centre of the city at Hősök Tere (Heroes’ Square) and Városház Tér (Town Hall Square). And as you’ll tell from the name, the Meat-Jelly Festival is all about aspic, a prized local preparation.

There are aspic sculpture competitions, stands with aspic to sample, cooking competitions, culinary demonstrations, live music and all kinds of activities for little ones
