The 16th Lifestyle and Mineral Expo comes to Budapest’s Lurdy House (Lurdy Ház) on January 24–25, 2026, filling 3,000 square feet with discoveries, wellness, and woo, with more than 150 exhibitors and over 50 programs across two days. One third of the space turns into Mineral Island, a 1,000-square-foot zone gleaming with raw and polished minerals, gemstones, fossils, and handcrafted mineral jewelry and decor.

Two Days, Dozens of Sessions

Expect a full lecture series spanning health preservation, self-knowledge, relationships, astrology, and tarot. Drop into guided meditations, chakra dance, sound baths with shamanic drums, labyrinth walks, and soul music concerts. Hands-on workshops cover candle making and pottery, while family constellations, phototherapy, and a story-drama session dig deeper into inner work. There’s even gemstone identification and the LifeLove (Életszerelem) social board game.

Shop, Try, Transform

Browse artisan goods, “free-from” treats, wellness services, and holistic picks from brands like Zinzino, Forever Living Products, and Dr. Lenkei. Get an aura photo or iris image, sit for astrology and tarot, pick up self-knowledge cards, try henna, or get a massage. Esoteric tools, materials for mineral crafting, and health-preserving products round out the mix.

Pros
+
Affordable tickets and free entry for little kids make it an easy add-on to a Budapest trip for families
+
Tons of hands-on stuff for all ages—candle making, pottery, gemstone ID, henna—keeps teens and younger kids engaged
+
Big variety: minerals and fossils for collectors plus wellness talks, meditations, sound baths, and concerts, so everyone finds a niche
+
Central city venue (Lurdy House) is well-known locally and reachable by Budapest trams/buses or a short car ride/ride-hail
+
Many sessions likely in or supported by English-friendly vendors/exhibitors, and browsing/shopping is easy without Hungarian
+
Budapest is a popular, well-connected destination for U.S. visitors with abundant flights and great public transport
+
Compared with crystal/gem shows in the U.S., the price is lower and the mix with European-style wellness/esoterica feels novel
Cons
Not a globally famous event; outside Hungary the expo has limited name recognition, so expectations should be modest
Some talks and workshops may be Hungarian-only, which can limit depth of participation without language skills
Mall/conference-center vibe at Lurdy isn’t as atmospheric as historic venues or outdoor European markets
If you’re into hard-science geology, the “woo”/esoteric tilt may feel heavy compared with more technical U.S. mineral shows
