The New Jersey AMERICAN-HUNGARIAN A Special Section for the American-Hungarian Community in New Jersey The Ninth Annual Hungarian Festival: A MAGYAR “THEATRE-IN-THE-STREET” IN NEW BRUNSWICK- by -Joseph Horvath NEW BRUNSWICK - It was Saturday, June 2nd. The day began with the “doom-and-gloom” of rain. But by the time the bells of all of the Hungarian churches in this city’s Fifth Ward, a procession Grand Marshaled by J.G. Szőke, Jr., and the opening ceremonies at the Magyar Reformed Church, signaled the start of the Ninth Annual Hungarian Festival, the drizzle had faded away. Then, the sun broke through the clouds and the festivities shifted into high gear. By nightfall, more than 7,500 men, women, and children had paid homage to their Hungarian heritage. It was a day to remember. Dedicated to a Hospital-University Sponsored by the Hungarian Civic Association and coordinated by Yolan Varga, the organization’s president, this year’s festival, according to her, was “a tribute to Middlesex General-University Hospital for its one hundred years of service to the community, one hundred years of caring.” In response to this tribute from this city’s American-Hungarian community, and as a part of their Centennial Year Celebration, the medical facility co-sponsored, with the Hungarian Civic Association, a Hungarian Folk Concert featuring the Delibab Folk Musicians and Jaszag Dancers of Hungary and Judith and Kalman Magyar of the American-Hungarian Folklore Centrum in Passaic, New Jersey.
