Fenyő Miklós Promenade and Permanent Memorial Bench in Zamárdi
According to festival organizers, one of the Balaton lakeshore’s scenic promenades will bear the name Fenyő Miklós sétány during the event. Fenyő Miklós spent years vacationing in Zamárdi, where he and his partner built a lakeside home featuring a wrought-iron treble clef at its highest point, according to the press release. To establish a permanent tribute, the city leadership and the Strand Fesztivál collaborated to install a memorial bench on the lakeshore. Conceived and designed by Norbert Lobenwein, the bench evokes the legendary Hungária era and serves as a gathering spot for fans and visitors.
Family and Municipal Reflections on the Tribute
According to Zamárdi Mayor Gyula Csákovics, the municipality is proud of the artist’s connection to the town and plans to establish similar memorial sites for other deceased figures who meant a lot to the community. Fenyő Miklós’s children, Dió and Dáci, stated that the bench provides a meaningful place for the family and fans to remember him by the water. Erika “Nyuszi” Balogh, the artist’s partner, noted in the announcement that the Zamárdi home brought him deep peace, good sleep, and relaxation on the terrace among family and friends, and she expressed pride in the new memorial.
