2026.03.21 (Saturday) — 4000 Debrecen, Downtown (Belváros). On March 21, Debrecen hits the strings: the fifth Made in Debrecen Festival takes over multiple downtown spots with concerts all day. It’s a one-day celebration of music acts tied to the city, and it’s back, bigger and louder, across cafés, clubs, community spaces, and outdoor stages.
More than a standard music fest, this is where the local community, cultural identity, and the city’s creative scene step into the spotlight. The streets, venues, and public spaces become pop-up stages, turning Downtown (Belváros) into a walkable circuit of gigs. The tried-and-true format has made Made in Debrecen one of the city’s most loved events, a flag-bearer for urban identity and local talent support.
Over 200 Debrecen-linked acts have signed up to throw a great party for the city’s stellar audience. The smash-hit Made in Pécs Festival (Made in Pécs Fesztivál) moves to Debrecen for a day to showcase the city’s full musical palette. Play with your band or solo, from folk to metal, whisper-quiet or speaker-shaking—every setup gets a shot.
All day long, local bands, soloists, and musicians perform in short, typically 20-minute slots, keeping the program dynamic and endlessly diverse. The special sauce: audiences can catch classical and acoustic productions alongside modern genres in one sweep—functional jazz, driving rock sets, and metal programs all share the bill.
For music lovers eager to discover new acts or anyone chasing a festival vibe that puts community and creativity first, Made in Debrecen is the perfect pick. Date: 2026.03.21. Location: Debrecen, Downtown (Belváros).
