2026.08.26–08.30, 8630 Balatonboglár, Szabadság utca 28., Babel Camp. The seventh Boglart Festival lands on the southern shore of Lake Balaton with its trademark blend: part folk and world music festival, part hands-on course, part music industry forum, and showcase. Days are for learning; nights light up two stages, then roll into a late táncház and a folk-meets-electronic afterglow in the folkkocsma, dancing until dawn.
Festival + Camp Energy
Boglart’s magic is the dual vibe: a creative, communal space where studying, making music, and the Balaton summer fuse. It’s not just concerts, but an inspiring lab that keeps carving out a unique spot in both the Hungarian and international festival calendars by marrying a music camp with a full festival experience.
Lineup and Learning
Freshly announced: Belgium’s Enara Navaira, Senegal’s Afrikora, Istria’s Veja, plus Hungary’s Okos Viola, Obadu, and house band Góbé. A Boglart signature: performers often teach by day—workshops range from Moldavian and string folk techniques to practical music industry know-how. Concert evenings close with táncház, then a world/electronic flow until sunrise.
Showcase Returns
After last year’s buzz, the showcase block is back, connecting Hungarian and international professionals for meetings and shared thinking. The first artists drop in the second half of November. Until then, festival passes, combo passes, 48-hour tickets, and day tickets are on sale at very low prices.
Tickets and Discounts
Discounted passes/tickets are now available for under-18s, over-64s, and teachers. If you’re 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.
