Boglárt Festival returns to Balatonboglár: lakeside folk and world music, workshops, showcase, and night táncház at Babel Camp. Family-friendly, discounts for youth, seniors, teachers. Learn by day, dance by night.
when:
2026.08.26–30., 8630 Balatonboglár, Szabadság Street (Szabadság utca) 28. The 7th Boglárt Festival sets up at Babel Camp right on Lake Balaton, blending a family-style folk and world music festival with hands-on courses, a music industry forum, and a showcase. Days are for learning; nights bring two alternating stages, then dancing until dawn in the folk pub.
Boglárt’s magic is its double life: a music camp by day, a festival after dark. It’s not just a run of concerts—it’s an inspiring creative space and community experience where learning, music, and the Balaton summer meet in rare harmony. Year after year, it stands out in both Hungarian and international lineups by fusing camp intimacy with full-scale festival vibes.
Freshly announced: Belgium’s Enara Navaira, Senegal’s Afrikora, Istria’s Veja, and from Hungary, Okos Viola and Obadu, plus the festival’s resident hosts, Góbé. A Boglárt hallmark: performers often teach daytime workshops, from Moldavian and string folk techniques to music industry know-how. Concert evenings flow into a táncház, then a world–electronic afterglow.
After last year’s warm reception, the showcase block returns, giving Hungarian and international professionals space to meet and brainstorm together.
The first performer announcements land in the second half of November; until then, festival passes, combo passes, 48-hour tickets, and day tickets are at very low launch prices. New discounts now apply to under-18s, over-64s, and teachers. If you’re also joining the course or showcase and qualify for discounts, combine discounted festival passes/day tickets with course passes/day tickets. Free entry for children under 10.
Organizers reserve the right to change dates and program.
