The family program attracted a record number of visitors to the Memorial Park for the Pan-European Picnic. There were activities for people of all ages. The renewed memorial park could become a favourite tourist attraction. The Minister for National Development, Tamás Fellegi, said that Sopron is not only a symbol of fidelity but also of freedom.

On the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of the Pan-European Picnic, the "Pan-European Picnic '89 Foundation" invited the former organizers and participants of the border breakthrough to the site of those events. Each book, compiled from the materials of the conference in 2009, was presented at this event.

The municipality organises free busses to the Family Picnic on 20th August. The first bus leaves at 10 o'clock from the local bus-stop in the Kristóf Lackner Street, and it runs until 19 o'clock hourly. Free busses depart also from the bus-turning in Fertőrákos from 10.30 a.m. every hour.

For the 22nd anniversary the memorial park will be renewed, thanks for a winning European Union tender. The municipalities of Sopron and Fertőrákos have organised an all-day Family Picnic for the consecration of the memorial park this year. We are pleased to announce that Tamás Fellegi, the Minister of National Development, will also celebrate with us in the Pan-European Picnic Memorial Park, in Sopronpuszta on 20th August, who will make a speech during the consecration of the memorial park starting at 17 o'clock.
