The event will be held at the same time along and close to the scene where the annual National Gallop 2014 will be present just an arm distant from each other.

There will be a lane on he site called the Budapest Street, whereas restaurants will be serving fish and seafood, sushi, pad thai noodles, caviar and fish & chips. In addition to the gourmet cuisine lovers, the professionals on Hunting and Fishing will have the opportunity to fiddle around in shopping and exchanging with other fellowmen and women tools as: books, fisherman’s magazines, bows, binoculars, fishing rods, fishing boats, trophies, traditional costumes and all sorts of handy equipments.

Speaking about fish … the highlight of the Festival will most probably be preparing and cooking Hungary’s famous Fish soup Ala’Szeged which will be cooked in quantity of 5000 litter and as to be the largest ever cooked fish soup in a giant cauldron. Fish consumption has been for centuries part of the Hungarian gastronomy, it is also an essential part of to-day’s feast meals.
Another purpose of arranging this fair is to show the visitors the most basic materials found in the forest food and its beneficial effects. The wild animals meat (deer, roe deer, wild boar) is much richer in proteins, vitamins and minerals than any regular meat at the shops and market halls and is without any growth hormone and other materials. Therefore, the consumption of wild meat is very healthy. Visitors will have the opportunity to taste these meals prepared of the wild animals of the forest such as: pleasant, rabbit, deer, wild boar, venison specialties at the Street Food restaurants. The unique specialities cannot be left alone without the excellent local wines, pálinka served at the beer houses and pálinka stands.
