Some other events offer their own insights into local celebrations and foods. At the I. Ligeti Tepertő and Mulled Wine Festival, teams and individuals were invited to take part in a competition. The festival offered a varied program that ended with a ball in the evening. This information relates to this festival and does not mean that it takes place every year.

At the Ligeti Fruit Festival, fruit and fruit products were exhibited, sold, and presented as part of a competition. These included jam, syrup, fruit juice, dried fruit, concentrates, pálinka, and wine. Those interested in regional products will find this a different kind of event from the annual feast days mentioned above. The products listed give a specific impression of what was at the heart of this fruit festival.

The Roman Catholic Szentháromság Church in Liget was built in 1841 in honor of the Holy Trinity. It is one of the locally protected buildings. There is also a memorial plaque at the church commemorating the heroes of the First World War. Its construction date, dedication, and memorial plaque offer different points of interest for travelers interested in church history and historical remembrance.

The feast of the Szentháromság Church is celebrated on the Sunday after Pentecost. Its date is therefore tied to a moveable feast. Alongside this church tradition is the local tradition about Kakasvár: according to local accounts, during the Turkish occupation Kakasvár was the village’s fortification and earthwork. This story adds another local connection to the past to the history of the church. It describes the traditional role of Kakasvár without making any claim about visiting it or accessing it today.
