About This Event
Since 1996, Baja has celebrated its Danube fish soup with a festival where cooks of every level fire up cauldrons in the main square and nearby streets. Bajai halászlé is made with pasta added to the broth, and the cooking day is the second Saturday of July. In recent years the event has grown into a multi-day festival with music and family programmes. In 2020 the usual programme was cancelled and cooking was spread over several city districts.
