We invite and welcome you to our 2026 programs at the VOKE Egyetértés Cultural Center (VOKE Egyetértés Művelődési Központ), Debrecen, Faraktár St. 67. One of the region’s cornerstone venues rolls out an open, quality-driven lineup: exhibitions, concerts, theater, and the district’s regular community events. Among the headliners: beloved Hungarian family tales, British farces stacked with slamming doors, a rock icon’s life talk, and two candlelit concert nights that trade amps for strings and glow.
