Programs in Hajdúszoboszló - Summer 2026

2026. május 11.

Star performers, festivals, parties, relaxation, love. Szoboszló is not only the largest spa town, but also the city of vibrant summer. The city officially started the season with the opening of the beach on May 1st and is expanding its offer with numerous cultural novelties. We tried to take a look at the many summer programs, here is a little taste.

At Pentecost, the new community space Galánfi Promenade, showcasing the works of the city's Kossuth Prize-winning artist, will be inaugurated. Visitors to Hajdúszoboszló can see the Endre Szász exhibition, which will be held from the end of June to the end of September on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Munkácsy Prize-winning artist.

There will also be an interactive LEGO exhibition: between July 11 and August 23, families will be welcomed at the cultural center with picnic tables and a playhouse.

One of the most special elements of the summer program will be the SzínTér Festival in June, which, in addition to the literary picnic, will bring contemporary fine arts closer to the population and those arriving in the city with interactive works and outdoor exhibitions.

At our Hunguest Hotel Béke, we will kick off the high season with a sumptuous Summer Kick-Off weekend between June 26-28, the hot atmosphere will culminate with a performance by Cuban singer Yulaysi Miranda.

The main role in the high season will be played by thematic weeks: from the beginning of July to mid-August, separate dance, music and youth programs will alternate in the area between the beach and the spa.

Lovers of tradition can take part in the 31st Szoboszló Folk Weekend in July, which will be complemented by a large-scale joint dance hall this year.
