A list of the best of Balaton for this year has been compiled, and you can meet these representatives on the evening of August 26, at the Balaton Festival, at the Strand Festival, where MOL, MBH Bank and Index will also present special prizes. The Best of Balaton show is always personally advertised, as its curators are, without exception, well-known personalities who are not only authentic, but known to be passionate about Balaton.
This year, in an unusual way, the public can recommend anyone and anything they love Lake Balaton for, and the curators can take advantage of that. In one month, nearly a thousand recommendations were received, of which the Best of Balaton curatorial team selected twenty-two.
“The menu is still very colorful. It features gastronomic offerings, new venues, Balaton activities, faces that do a lot for Lake Balaton, and my favorite is the color of the waters of Lake Balaton. It’s a show that no one usually goes on a trip to, but at the same time “If you’re spending time by the lake, you can’t help but notice its diversity, its ever-changing beauty,” says Pana Vancza, President of Best of Balaton.
The Best of Balaton is now a reliable compass and at the same time holds many surprises. We can find many, many lists around Lake Balaton, which help us find the best gastronomic places near us every year. The excitement of the best in Balaton lies precisely in his personality
– emphasized Norbert Lübenwein, founder of Best of Balaton.
If you are curious about where Dávid Marsalkó likes to have lunch, what gives Nóra Ördög the most enjoyable moments, why Tilla loves the area around the lake, or what new things Viki Lábas, who is from Balaton, discovers every year, look no further than Balaton’s Best Show. Yours and ours.”
