    Within the framework of this event the organizing party builds a large nomadic village that contains many yurts. A large number of horses also participate in this event. To this date, Kurultaj is the largest celebration of ancient traditions in Hungary that gladly welcomes guests, especially from Hun-Turkic nations with whom Hungarians have many historical and cultural ties. This celebration attracts the people who preserve the ancient Hungarian traditions not only from Hungary, but also Hungarians who live on territories of boarding countries.
