Boglart Festival 2026 returns to Balatonboglár with lakeside music camp, folk
when:
A lakeside summer that doubles as a music camp and a festival is back: the 7th Boglart Festival runs August 26–30, 2026, at Babel Camp, 8630 Balatonboglár, 28 Szabadság Street (Szabadság utca 28). Days are for learning, nights are for dancing, with two stages of live folk and world music, then a dawn tilt in the folkkocsma. It’s part showcase, part industry forum, part hands-on folk course—an immersive creative space where study, sound, and the Balaton vibe meet in easy harmony.
Freshly announced names include Belgium’s Enara Navaira, Senegal’s Afrikora, Istria’s Veja, plus Hungarian acts Okos Viola, Obadu, and the festival’s resident hosts, Góbé. Boglart’s twist: many performers teach by day. Workshops range from Moldavian and string-folk techniques to practical music-industry know-how, then roll into concerts, a late táncház, and a world–electronic afterglow.
After last year’s strong buzz, the showcase block returns, giving Hungarian and international professionals room to meet, network, and brainstorm together. The first wave of performers will be announced in the second half of November, but until then, festival passes are on offer at very low prices—grab full passes, combo passes, 48-hour tickets, or day tickets while they last.
New discounted passes and tickets are available for under-18s, over-64s, and teachers. If you’re applying for the course or the showcase and are also eligible for discounts, combine reduced festival passes/day tickets with course passes/day tickets for the best deal. Entry is free for kids under 10. Dates: August 26–30, 2026. Location: Balatonboglár, 28 Szabadság Street (Szabadság utca 28).
