The 7th Boglart Festival lands on the shore of Lake Balaton from August 26–30, 2026, turning Babel Camp (8630 Balatonboglár, Szabadság Street 28) into a buzzing hub for folk and world music fans. It’s part festival, part intensive music course, part industry forum, and part showcase: days are for learning, nights for concerts on two stages, followed by dancing until dawn in the folk pub (folkkocsma).
Festival + Camp Vibe
The charm lies in the blend: it’s a creative space and communal experience where workshops, music, and Balaton’s summer roll into one. Boglart stands out on the domestic and international calendar by fusing a hands-on music camp with a festival atmosphere.
Lineup and Learning
Freshly announced: Belgium’s Enara Navaira, Senegal’s Afrikora, Istria’s Veja, plus Hungary’s Okos Viola and Obadu—and house host Góbé. A Boglart signature: many performers double as daytime instructors. Workshops range from Moldavian and string-band folk techniques to practical music industry know-how. Concert nights flow into a dance house (táncház), then a global-meets-electronic afterparty.
Showcase and Industry
After last year’s rave feedback, the pro-focused showcase block returns, bringing Hungarian and international experts together to share ideas and make connections.
Tickets and Discounts
Expect the first artist drop in the second half of November; until then, festival passes, combo passes, 48-hour tickets, and day tickets are available at very low prices. New discounts apply for under-18s, over-64s, and teachers. If you’re also joining the course or showcase and qualify for a discount, combine reduced festival passes/day tickets with course passes/day tickets. Free for kids under 10.
Dates: 2026.08.26–2026.08.30 • Location: Balatonboglár
