Kecskemét’s Szent László Boulevard (Szent László körút) fairground fires up again for the Veteran Car and Motorcycle Parts Swap Meet, running from February through November, every fourth Saturday, 6:00–14:00, beside the go-kart track. It’s a heady time warp where the scent of oil, noble rust, and mirror-finish chrome collide, and fans of old cars and bikes feel right at home.
Season Kickoff and Dates
Engines thunder and chrome gleams as the 2026 season opens on Saturday, February 28, inviting visitors to wander a living museum from dawn to early afternoon. The tradition rolls on month after month, with the 2026 dates set for June 27, July 25, August 22, September 26, October 24, and November 28. Admission hours stay tight and buzzy, and parking for visitors is free.
More Than a Market
This isn’t just trade; it’s a feeling. The swap meet blends patina and polish into an atmosphere no sleek showroom can fake. Expect a bountiful spread: vintage and classic cars ranging from fully restored dazzlers to saveable projects; a paradise for bike die-hards hunting parts for Pannónia (Pannónia) and Danuvia (Danuvia) machines alongside Western classics; and a treasure-hunt vibe for those elusive bits the internet won’t cough up. Rows of machines tell their own stories—dented and rusty warriors, pampered survivors, and freshly revived rarities—stoking the imagination as much as the urge to wrench.
DIY Heaven for Tinkerers
Thanks to a deep stock of used and salvaged parts, handy hobby mechanics can dig for the exact piece to complete a build. With a little vision and a home workshop, a box of “maybes” becomes a super ride. That’s the magic here: possibility in every crate, and community in every trade.
Jumble Market Vibes
The nostalgia doesn’t end with gears and gaskets. Running alongside is a lively jumble market packed with dusted-off antiques, vintage household tools, and quirky relics—perfect for anyone chasing a small slice of the past for their home or collection.
Spring Expansion: Small Animal Market
Organizers are already looking ahead. From March, the beloved Small Animal Market (Kisállatvásár) joins the program, rounding out the experience into a genuinely family-friendly, feel-good weekend. Between the tang of machine grease and the buzz of a growing crowd, the event promises momentum, variety, and a festival mood all season long.
6000 Kecskemét, Szent László Boulevard (Szent László körút) Fairground. Visitors welcome. Parking free.
