Pig-slaughtering in Mosty

The tradition of this event started only in 2017 (2 Dec 2017). The Gorol Tourist Information Centre organizes a traditional pig-slaughtering in the centre of the village at Fojství wooden cottage on Saturday before the first Advent Sunday.
The pig is not killed directly in place! Already a disembowelled and cleaned pig is delivered and hanged on the tripod. For the whole afternoon, viewers may watch the butcher working and preparing pig-slaughtering specialities, such as black- and white puddings, pork jowl, head cheese and other butcher products. Specialities prepared in place will not be for sale, though. However, people do not need to worry; they will not lose the occasion to taste the titbits. They will be able to purchase them in the surrounding stands of certified butchers and take them home. Also, stalls offering warm refreshment will be available.
The whole event is accompanied by a rich program for both young and old, a traditional competition "For the fastest eater" in eating pig-slaughtering specialties, or competition best sausage product (the type of competition product is chosen by the committee several weeks in advance), pig-slaughtering soup for the poor and the rich, to well-known bands play listening. The colorfulness of the event is completed by the accompanying program such as angels on stilts, fair stands, examples of blacksmith work, stations with interesting thematic tasks for children, for the completion of which they can collect a reward, etc.
During the entire event, children can meet Nicholas and Angel and collect a Nicholas present in exchange for a coupon. The highlight of the event is the joint lighting of the Christmas tree.

The organizer very much welcomes all stallholders willing to sell pig-slaughtering specialities (warm and take away ones) and regional products at the event, as well as individuals or associations wishing to participate in the implementation of an accompanying program (manual workshops, program for the kids, contests, etc.).
