Hajdúszoboszló’s Bocskai Museum throws open its doors on Saturday, June 20, 2026, for Museums Night, serving up a summer evening packed with local history, live music, and hands-on traditions. The program salutes two milestones: 150 years of the town’s fire brigade and the 420th anniversary of the Hajdú settlers, turning the museum and 14 Bocskai Street (Bocskai utca 14) into a buzzing cultural hub from 5:00 PM to 10:10 PM.
All-evening attractions
Expect living history from the Gábor Bethlen Traditionalist Association (Bethlen Gábor Hagyományőrző Egyesület), a soaring folk playhouse, and a lively street festival with market stalls and craft demos. Visitors can watch folk artisans at work and pick up unique handmade goods while exploring a special temporary exhibition on 150 years of the Hajdúszoboszló fire service.
Music, stories, and street theater
The night blasts off at 5:00 PM with Smoke, Flame, Fanfare, as the Liitus Brass Ensemble sets the tone.
