On Saturday 5 December, from 14:00 to 17:00, the terrace of Lokal at the lake in Fonyódliget puts on its Advent best: a festive farmers’ market, grilled food and the house favourite, steamed dumplings, with mulled wine, hot chocolate and Christmas music. The event is organised by Lokal at the lake and the Somogy Local Products Association.
What’s on the terrace?
- Advent farmers’ market: festively wrapped local products and gifts, a good chance to pick up Christmas presents.
- Grill: dishes from Ricsi’s grill.
- Lokalista steamed dumpling: with local poppy seeds and homemade plum jam, steamed bao-style and served with vanilla custard.
- Mulled wine and hot chocolate, with Christmas music.
- MÚÚ will be open too: MÚÚ Fagyibár, with cakes and coffee.
A two-day Advent weekend with a prize draw
The organisers have teamed up with Hubertus Hof, where Santa arrives the next day, 6 December, with an Advent market, street food and Christmas photo sessions. The two venues run a joint prize draw: try at least one dish on the Lokal terrace on 5 December to get a stamp booklet, try something at Hubertus Hof the next day and hand the booklet in there to enter. Gift vouchers for both venues will be drawn.
The Fonyód ice rink will already be open that weekend, so you can combine the event with skating: Fonyód Ice Rink and Winter Wonderland. And the following Saturday, 12 December, the Balaton Advent boats link Fonyód with Balatonlelle and Badacsony; the Lokal team will be there too.
Staying the whole weekend? 10% off at Hilltop
