Summary/Abstract: Due to the appreciation of gastronomy and the possibility of arising various differen tbenefits from organising festivals, it was popular to arrange food festivals in Hungary before the restriction in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. All of these resulted in a diverse food festival offer from the aspect of the theme, the volume and the focus. Despite the popularity, there was no constantly updated extensive database that would generally have defined Hungarian food festivals and contained their main features. The authors have compiled a collection of Hungarian food festivals that were organised in 2019. With the method elaborated by them, the authors categorised festivals based on the theme, the importance of gastronomy and the target groups. This study searched for correlations between the aspects listed as well as settlement hierarchy and temporality,revealing regional differences that might contribute to a comprehensive description of the Hungarian food festival offer.
