when:
Families in Keszthely just got their 2026 playbook. The Goldmark Károly Cultural Center (GKMK/GKMKK) is lining up a full calendar of playful, creative, tradition-filled events for all ages, running straight through spring and into summer. Expect puppet mischief, folk rhymes, live instruments, and a big dose of hands-on crafting—most of it free and set at easy-to-find venues in the heart of town.
The star of the schedule is Kerekítő Mondókázó, a beloved series for the tiniest audiences, ages 0–3. Led by Attila Zólyomi, sessions blend the Kerekítő Manó puppet’s mini-scenes with instrument games, songs, and classic Hungarian nursery rhymes. It’s gentle, rhythmic, and entirely geared to early childhood. The meet-up takes place in the GKMKK Great Hall (GKMKK, Nagyterem) at 9:30 a.m. every Wednesday in Keszthely, with dates set from March through the start of July.
Upcoming Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., GKMKK Great Hall, Keszthely:
– March 11, 18, 25
– April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

One standout weekend event lands on Saturday, March 14, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at GKMK, Folk Tale Point (NépmesePont), 8360 Keszthely, 28 Lajos Kossuth Street (Kossuth Lajos utca 28). Led by Adél Tóth, this free creative playhouse invites kids and parents to dive into spring vibes with a lively, make-and-take afternoon. On the menu: crafting cheerful birds, colorful flowers, and whimsical snowdrop fairies. Think bright paper, simple techniques, and collaborative fun designed to warm up the season and lean into upcoming holidays. No fees, no fuss—just show up ready to make something charming together.
The midweek Kerekítő gatherings are perfect for babies and toddlers to sway, clap, and echo nursery lines, while parents meet other families and pick up new rhymes and songs. Saturday’s creative session widens the circle—siblings, caregivers, and grandparents are all welcome. The vibe is welcoming, the structure is simple, and the focus is on shared moments that stick.
