St. George’s Day Launch Celebration and Craft Fair, World Heritage Site, Puszta Day

St George’s Day was one of the highlights of the pastors’ lives. On this day, the animals were driven out of their winter shelter.

St George’s Day was one of the highlights in the life of the shepherds. It was the day when the animals were driven out of their winter shelter. To commemorate this tradition, the Festival is an opportunity to get to know the shepherds and their animals of the Hortobágy. The good old, well used but still serving Nine-Hole Bridge, the cattle driven over it, the saddling of foals, the famous horse carriage and “Racka” sheep, are unforgettable sights. It is one of the days of the year that draws particular attention to the pastoralism of the World Heritage Site and the handful of shepherds who keep their ancestors’ craft alive.
