Kecskemét Vintage Auto-Moto Swap Meet 2026: monthly Saturday market for classic car and motorcycle parts, flea finds, and restorations at Szent László Boulevard fairgrounds. Free parking, 6:00–14:00.
when: 2026. February 26., Thursday
🏁
Kecskemét fires up the engines again in 2026: the Vintage Auto and Motorcycle Parts Swap Meet takes over the Szent László Boulevard (Szent László körút) fairgrounds, next to the go-kart track, from February through November, every fourth Saturday, 6:00–14:00. It’s part treasure hunt, part reunion for grease-under-the-nails tinkerers and chrome addicts, where the scent of oil, rust, and polished metal blends into a full-on time trip.
What to Expect
Stalls brim with all sorts: battered, rusty relics, cherished survivors, and fully restored oddities. Hobby mechanics can dive into piles of salvaged parts and piece together something wild back in the home garage. At the same time, a flea market runs alongside the swap meet, adding offbeat finds to the hunt. Parking for visitors is free, and the Kecskemét fairgrounds throws the gates wide open for everyone.

Each event runs 6:00–14:00. Bring your wish list, your toolbox mindset, and a sharp eye—the next dream part might be hiding under the next tarp.

Cons
–
Early hours (6 a.m.–2 p.m.) can be rough with jet lag or kids
–
Not a marquee international event—serious collectors will love it, casual tourists may find it niche
–
Some bargaining or technical chat may be smoother with basic Hungarian; English help isn’t guaranteed
–
Winter/shoulder dates can be chilly and mostly outdoors, so comfort depends on weather
