From August 26–30, 2026, the seventh Boglart Festival lands on the Balaton shore at Babel Camp, Balatonboglár, 8630, 28 Szabadság Street (Szabadság utca 28). It’s part intimate folk-world music festival, part hands-on music camp, part industry forum, part showcase. Days are for learning; nights split across two stages, then roll into a folk pub dance party until dawn.
Music, Camp, Community
Boglart thrives on a rare blend: it’s a creative workshop and a summer festival at once, where study, music, and Balaton’s heatwave nights find a groove together. That dual nature makes it a standout on the Hungarian and international circuit, offering more than a run of concerts—an open, collaborative space for artists, learners, and fans.
Who’s Playing and Teaching
Freshly announced: Belgium’s Enara Navaira, Senegal’s Afrikora, Istria’s Veja, plus Hungarian acts Okos Viola, Obadu, and house hosts Góbé. True to Boglart’s format, many performers double as daytime tutors—covering everything from Moldavian and string-band folk techniques to must-know music industry skills in workshops. Concert evenings slide into táncház, then world-music-meets-electronic sessions.
Showcase and Industry Meetups
After last year’s buzz, the showcase block returns, bringing together domestic and international professionals to meet and brainstorm. The first artist announcements arrive in the second half of November. Until then, passes are very affordable: festival passes, combo passes, 48-hour tickets, and day tickets are all on offer.
Tickets and Discounts
Discounted passes/tickets are now available for under-18s, over-64s, and teachers. If you’re joining the course or the showcase and eligible for discounts, combine discounted festival passes/day tickets with course passes/day tickets for the best deal. Free entry for kids under 10.
Dates: 2026.08.26–2026.08.30 • Location: Balatonboglár, 8630, 28 Szabadság Street (Szabadság utca 28).
