I also want to bring back the atmosphere of the May Day celebrations in Rákóczifalva on the first of May. In addition to its numerous other programs, Varsány Community Hall also announced a retro balloon parade with the slogan “Live May Day”. I would like the residents to participate in the program dressed in their 70s and 80s clothes, you can even go at home. They are happy to buy it if there are other period props at home, and they are curious to see who will make banners for the occasion.

– The parade itself also recalls the retro years, we thought it was something that could be mentioned as a positive from the old days – emphasized Réka Csáti Csásiné, director of the community center. – We also won the support of local traditionalists and helpers for the program, so the procession will be accompanied by a police car of the time, with a driver dressed in the policeman’s uniform of the time. Balloons were also an essential accessory for the old Mayans, and are still loved by both children and adults today.
The parade starts at 3:30 p.m. from the traffic light intersection to the center of the settlement. They did not plan very long term, thinking about the elderly as well.
