November 3–9, 2025, Nagy Imre Square (Nagy Imre tér) 1, 4400 Nyíregyháza. Korzó Shopping Center (Korzó Bevásárlóközpont) is packing the season with family-friendly shows, a buzzing craft marketplace, and a winter photo contest that takes over November. Expect interactive puppet theater every weekend, a first-birthday bash for the Korzó Craft Marketplace, and a gallery wall blooming with snowy snapshots selected by a professional jury. Bring kids, curiosity, and your camera roll.
Weekend Puppet Theater, Every Weekend
Burattino Puppet Theater (Burattino Bábszínház) rolls in across November and December with interactive musical fables, tender animal tales, folk and fairground plays, and beloved Hungarian folk stories. Before and after every show, the team opens a craft corner and a play area for all ages. Performance times are the same every week: Saturdays at 11:00 and 16:00, Sundays at 10:00. Mark your calendar for these weekends: November 8–9, November 15–16, November 22–23, November 29–30, December 6–7, December 13–14, and December 20–21. Think sing-along moments, soft puppets, and enough whimsy to turn a shopping trip into a storybook afternoon.
Korzó Craft Marketplace Turns One
On November 9, the Korzó Craft Marketplace (Korzó Kézműves Piactér) celebrates its first birthday with a special fair from 10:00 to 17:00 on the connecting corridor on the 2nd floor. Organized by “Grandma’s Products” (“Nagyi termékei”) with the support of Korzó, the monthly marketplace has grown into a community event where local makers, growers, and gifted artisans get a proper spotlight. Expect handmade goods, small-batch treats, seasonal finds, and the kind of chatty, neighborly vibe that makes you linger. It’s the birthday where you come for a candle and leave with three jars of jam, a scarf, and a new favorite ceramicist.
Winter Wonders Photo Contest
Got a stunning winter shot hidden on your phone, taken as a hobbyist, or snapped on film? Enter Winter Wonders (Tél csodái), a creative photo contest running in three consecutive waves: November 3–9, November 10–16, and November 17–23. Submit in one (or more) of three categories: People | Animals | Nature. A professional jury will select the top 30 photos for exhibition inside Korzó, and in each category they’ll crown three winners who’ll take home BestByte vouchers. It’s a straightforward brief: show winter’s magic as you see it—frost on eyelashes, paws in snow, a silent tree line at dusk—and get the chance to see your work on display and check off your gear wish list.
Plan Your Visit
Korzó Shopping Center (Korzó Bevásárlóközpont) sits at Nagy Imre Square (Nagy Imre tér) 1 in central Nyíregyháza, easy to reach for a quick browse or a day out. The season’s program is designed so you can stack activities: catch the puppet show with the kids, browse the craft stalls for birthday gifts and holiday stock-ups, then loop back to check out the growing wall of Winter Wonders finalists as the contest progresses week by week. If you’re entering the photo contest, keep an eye on category rules and deadlines for each weeklong window; if you’re coming for Burattino Puppet Theater, remember the fixed showtimes—Saturday 11:00 and 16:00, Sunday 10:00—and the free-flow craft and play corners on both sides of the performance. November at Korzó is less a shopping trip and more a rolling festival with a warm coat on: stories, makers, and snapshots of winter stitched together under one roof.
