On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, Fonyód will commemorate the Arad martyrs at 12 o'clock. The location of the local event of the national mourning day is the copyaph of the Hungarian Balint Elementary School in Palona.
On October 6, 1849 Aradon executed thirteen civil servants of the War of Independence, and in Pesten Count Lajos Batthyány, Hungary's first responsible Prime Minister. The 6th of October has been an official national day of mourning since 2001. The commemorations salute the victims of retaliation after the defeat of the war on freedom.
The location of the Fonyód occasion is symbolic in itself: the Copenhagen tree is a common memory, where the city community can bow its head to martyrs. The event is expected to be a short, solemn open-air memorial, so it is worth arriving a few minutes before 12: 00.
