From late October 2025 through spring 2026, the town of Ajka will explode with a packed and colorful lineup of events for all tastes and ages.
Culture, Science, and DIY Fun
The Nyugdíjas Szabadegyetem (Retirees’ Free University) kicks off with sessions on city development, the local cultural center, and even the history of Tósokberénd. For creative spirits, there are workshops like autumn decoration crafting and an art history lecture combined with hands-on watercolor painting, centered around romantic stories.
Evenings for Music Lovers
Music fans can dive into a variety of genres. The Jubilate Női Kar (Jubilate Women’s Choir) offers musical evenings, while Swing à la Django shakes up Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with jazz, folk, and Latin twists. The New Year’s Operetta and Musical Gala promises a spectacular live show of classic favorites performed by stars like Szilvi Szendy, Mónika Fischl, and Péter Laki, accompanied by the Dunakeszi Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble.
Laughs, Drama, and Magic
Ajka is a hotspot for stand-up and comedy. Hang out at Dumaszínház with Dániel Mogács, or enjoy “Kettő az egyben!” by the Szomszédnéni Produkciós Iroda. Catch plays like “SPANYOLHÁTHA (Heatwave),” the operetta-comedy “Te rongyos élet…,” and even a two-part Parisian comedy, “Randevú Párizsban.” Prepare for scientific insights packaged as stand-up with László Mérő dissecting artificial intelligence.
Inquisitive Minds Welcome
Those fascinated by health and longevity can follow the “Secrets of Blue Zones” series, with talks delving into plant-based diets, stress-busting techniques, and overcoming generational trauma.
Kid-Friendly and Family Moments
Families will love “Állatok farsangja másként” (Carnival of the Animals, Reimagined), which mixes music and literature in a playful, witty way. Board game clubs invite everyone to socialize, while the “Vigyázz, Kész, Nevetés! – NŐNAP!” event guarantees a laughter-filled Women’s Day celebration.
Tickets range from $13 to $24, ensuring there’s something accessible for everyone—whether you’re craving culture, comedy, or community this season in Ajka.
