On September 13, 2025, for one night, churches across Hungary will welcome visitors as part of the nationwide Ars Sacra Festival. For this special event, church doors that are usually closed will be open, inviting everyone to peek behind the sacred walls and discover hidden architectural and artistic treasures.
Something for Everyone
Curious guests can enjoy a wide variety of programs, including organ concerts, interactive installations, and fascinating presentations on church history. The evening won’t just cater to adults—special activities and discussions for children are set to spark the interest of even the youngest attendees.
Kickoff: Open Churches Day
The festival begins with Open Churches Day, offering an array of events and pilgrimages. Churches invite anyone searching for meaning or simply looking to strengthen their spirit. The celebration runs from September 13 to September 21, but the main event takes place on the opening Saturday.
Organizers reserve the right to change the schedule or programs.
