Nagykörű, a village on the Tisza River 17.4 miles from Szolnok, rolls out a full 2026 calendar of producer markets and food-filled nights across multiple venues. Local farmers and makers set up with cheeses, cured meats, syrups and jams, sea buckthorn treats, handmade jewelry and cosmetics, honey and chili sauces, gift items and dried fruits, homemade cakes, rag rugs, beanies and hats.
