What it is
Easter is Hollókő's great festival. The village celebrates its Palóc customs with traditional costumes, music and street programmes, and on Easter Monday the boys "sprinkle" the girls, the Hungarian custom of locsolás. On those days the old village charges admission and fills with visitors from all over Hungary.
Bear in mind
- Check the programme and tickets on the village's website when they are announced.
- Arrive early or sleep in the village: the car park fills up.
