If you think you have to travel to Provence to see stunning lavender fields, think again!

Lavender has been growing in Tihany for over a century, thanks to Gyula Bittera, who first introduced it in France. Today, it’s one of Hungary’s most famous natural treasures, attracting visitors from all over to soak in its beauty and calming scent.

This isn’t just about strolling through gorgeous lavender fields (though that’s a highlight).

The festival offers plenty of fun activities, including:

Picking Your Lavender - Grab a basket and cut fresh lavender straight from the field.

Shopping Local - Find everything from lavender soaps to essential oils at the market.

Live Music and Entertainment - Enjoy concerts, folk performances, and interactive workshops.

Guided Tours and Exhibitions - Learn about the history and benefits of lavender from local experts.

So why travel to Provence to get the same magical lavender experience in Hungary?

Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable festival!
