From chestnuts to illusion desserts
The 11th Chestnut Festival holds its second day today, 11 October, at Kertészeti Centrum in Keszthely. The official city programme says Sunday opens at 10:30 with a talk about chestnuts and gluten-free uses. “Natural remedy” appears in the session title; FestivalTV does not present it as an independently verified health claim.
At 12:00, pastry chef Dávid Jakabfi of JD Desszertműhely demonstrates a realistic cake. The afternoon stage begins at 13:00 with Vera Németh performing pop and musical songs, followed by harvest songs from Tátika Folk Song Circle at 14:00, Tibor Molnár's solo guitar programme at 15:00 and senior joy-dance at 16:00.
What matters to visitors?
The day may suit visitors looking for family, food and cultural content in one place. The published programme does not state a clear ticket price or registration rule, so entry details and possible changes should be checked on the organiser's current surface before travelling.
Business beyond the Balaton high season
The festival shows how one autumn ingredient can anchor tourism, education and gastronomy. Local growers, pastry businesses, health-conscious food brands, craft traders, accommodation providers and transport services can connect to an off-season Balaton weekend.
