2026.08.26–08.30, 8630 Balatonboglár, Szabadság utca 28. The seventh Boglart Festival plants its flags at the lakeside Babel Camp, fusing folk and world music with hands-on learning by day and full-throttle concerts and dancing by night. It’s part festival, part roots-music course, part music-industry forum and showcase, where two stages light up after sunset and the folkkocsma keeps the dancing going till dawn.
Vibes: Half Camp, Half Festival
Boglart’s charm is its split personality: daytime is for workshops and instrument crafting, evenings for táncház, concerts, and a late-night world/electronic afterglow. It’s not just a series of gigs—it’s a collaborative creative space where learning, music, and the Balaton summer click into harmony. Year after year, it stands out on the Hungarian and international calendar by blending a music camp’s intimacy with a festival’s energy.
Lineup and Learning
Freshly announced: Belgian act Enara Navaira, Senegalese groove machine Afrikora, Istrian innovators Veja, plus Hungary’s Okos Viola, Obadu, and hosts Góbé. A Boglart signature: many artists double as tutors by day, teaching everything from Moldavian and string-band folk techniques to music-biz know-how across workshops.
Showcase Is Back
After last year’s buzz, the showcase block returns, a meeting ground for domestic and international professionals to connect and brainstorm.
Tickets, Discounts, Access
The first wave of artists drops in the second half of November, but passes are already ultra-affordable: festival passes, combined passes, 48-hour tickets, and day tickets. New discounts apply for under-18s, over-64s, and teachers. If you’re joining the course or the showcase and qualify for discounts, combine reduced festival/day tickets with course passes/day tickets. Kids under 10 enter free.
