About This Event

The Gulaschfestival turns the Donaupark in Donaustadt into a giant open-air kitchen. Teams cook kettle goulash on open fires, a jury awards the golden ladle, and there is Hungarian folk music and dance, langos and palinka. In 2026 a Hungarian fish soup (halászlé) cook-off was added on the Sunday. The festival has been run by the Hungarian association BMME since 2010.

How to read festival information

We work to keep festival information right, but festivals are run by others and details change. Here is how to read what you see on SoupFestivals.

Confirmed or expected

A confirmed date was announced for that edition. An expected date, such as "usually held around mid-October", is an estimate based on past editions, not an announcement.

Places can be approximate

We show a map pin and directions only when the venue's location is verified. If it is still unconfirmed, we keep the known venue name and town without a pin.

Check before you travel

Dates, prices, menus and venues can change, and festivals can be cancelled. Always confirm with the organizer before you go. If their information differs from ours, theirs is the one to follow.

Help us keep it right

If something looks wrong, tell us and we will look at it. Organizers can claim their festival page to send us updates.
