Kicking off on August 20th and running until the 24th, the 30th Harkány Bath Festival (Harkányfürdő Fesztivál) is back—and bringing a wild blend of music, kids’ fun, fitness, and plenty of Hungarian flair. Held on Kossuth Lajos Street (Kossuth Lajos utca) in the heart of Harkány, this five-day party isn’t just for spa lovers: the massive lineup makes it one of Hungary’s most colorful summer events.
Non-Stop Daytime Fun
Every day, the Harka Waterworld Kids Kingdom (Harka Vízivilág Gyerekbirodalom) gets things moving with DJ Tomi Kovács’s Kinder Disco from 1pm to 6pm. Between energetic kids’ fitness sessions and the magical touch of Richard Davidson, the little ones are always entertained. Family favorites like Éva Tamás’s Toyhouse (Tamás Éva Játéktára) and the playful Little Chestnut Club (Kicsi Gesztenye Klub) keep the festival buzzing all afternoon.
Groove, Laugh & Try Something New
Three stages—Healing Garden (Gyógykert), Odeon Food Bar Butterfly (Odeon Ételbár Lepke), and the main Viva Palazzo stage—offer a huge range of live acts. Whether you’re in the mood for Latin tunes from Enikő Horváth and György Salamon, retro madness with Bestiák, or the swinging sounds of the Harkány Big Band, you’ll find your vibe. Don’t miss the fitness demonstrations, dance-offs, and stand-up comedy from stars like Péter Janklovics and László Lakatos.
Evenings Go Big
At sunset, head to the Viva Palazzo main stage. Find your spot for headliners like EDDA – THE CIRCLE (KÖR), SEVERINA, BYEALEX AND THE SLEPP (BYEALEX ÉS A SLEPP), and a live concert by MIKLÓS FENYŐ (FENYŐ MIKLÓS). Partygoers can keep dancing with DJ Duly and Pixa into the early hours—each night wraps up around 1:30am.
