| Tartalmi kivonat: | One of the most important festivals in Hungary is held on 18, 19, and 20 august each year, marking the national holiday of Szent István’s Day (St. Stephen in English). in the village of Hortobágy in Eastern Hungary, the festival traditionally has been observed with a market held near the Kilenclyukú Híd, the “Nine-Hole Bridge.” the festival is therefore called the Hídivásár, or “bridge festival.” it features the herders of the area who maintain older breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and herding dogs and who wear traditional costumes.Historically, the festival focused on the buying, selling, and trading of domestic animals. artisans and craftspeople also offered products for the farm and home. Most of today’s vendors sell inexpensive plastic household goods, woven baskets, and metal ware, although a few still sell traditional herdsmen’s clothing and hats, leather goods, and feltwork. Herdsmen bring animals to the bridge, not to be bought or sold but as picturesque subjects for thousands of photo-snapping tourists. the market has become a major tourist draw. from the perspective of the anthropology of tourism, festival, and ritual, the market festival has become a site of consumption rather than a dynamic, interpersonal process, yet it still acts to maintain traditional practices. |
