The Goldmark Károly Cultural Center in Keszthely is rolling out a lively, year-round family lineup, serving up creativity, music, rhyme, and play for the tiniest culture fans. The flagship is Kerekítő Mondókázó, a hands-on, heartwarming session for ages 0–3, led by performer and educator Attila Zólyomi. Expect puppet skits featuring the cheeky Kerekítő Manó, simple instrument play, singalongs, and folk rhymes that invite parents and toddlers to move, clap, and giggle together. The series runs like clockwork on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. in the Big Hall of the Goldmark Károly Cultural Center (GKMKK) in Keszthely, and it doesn’t skip a beat from winter through summer.
Who it’s for
Babies and toddlers up to age three—plus their grown-ups. The program is designed to be inclusive and soothing for little listeners, while still dynamic enough to keep busy toddlers engaged. No prior music or movement experience needed; just bring curiosity and a comfy, cuddle-ready mindset.
What to expect
Each session blends short puppet scenes, call-and-response rhymes, gentle movement, and beginner-friendly instrument play. Tunes are easy to pick up, rhythm games are tactile, and the flow encourages bonding. Folk elements anchor the activities, giving families a taste of tradition in a modern, playful format. Sessions are interactive rather than sit-and-watch, so little ones can wiggle and join in on their own terms.

About the leader
Attila Zólyomi guides the mornings with warmth and a performer’s timing. His sessions lean into humor and repetition—the sweet spot for under-threes—while slipping in musical basics and folk tradition. The Kerekítő Manó puppet is the trusty sidekick, breaking the ice and keeping focus with expressive mini-scenes.
Good to know
Organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs. Always double-check the latest schedule before heading out, especially around holidays and school breaks. Bring water, a soft toy if your toddler needs a comfort anchor, and a little buffer time—strollers and tiny boots can slow the walk-in.
