The Goldmark Károly Cultural Center in Keszthely is rolling out a bright, family-friendly lineup that keeps little ones engaged week after week. From January to July, parents with babies and toddlers can count on a cheerful Wednesday ritual: Kerekítő Mondókázó, a lively session built around puppetry, rhythm, folk rhymes, and songs for ages 0–3. Led by Attila Zólyomi, the gathering takes place in the GKMKK’s Great Hall every Wednesday at 9:30. Organizers note they reserve the right to change dates and programs, so keep an eye out for updates—but the schedule is set to make midweeks a breeze for families looking for nurturing play and gentle community time.
What’s On Each Wednesday
Kerekítő Mondókázó anchors the calendar with consistency, running nearly every Wednesday from late January through the start of July. Each session centers on the Kerekítő “manó” (a playful elf puppet) who guides interactive mini-stories. The format blends instrument play, singalongs, and traditional Hungarian nursery rhymes, tuned to the developmental sweet spot of babies and toddlers. Caregivers can expect a cozy atmosphere where movement, music, and language roll together—kerekítő literally hints at “rounding” things out with rhythm and rhyme.
