The Kistarcsa Cultural Association is preparing a full year of diverse programs in 2026 to enrich local culture, strengthen community spirit, and support self-organizing groups in Kistarcsa and surrounding areas. They will offer fun experiences and gatherings for all age groups throughout the year.
March Highlights
On March 19, Gyulai Katalin discusses beauty care, addressing skin problems anywhere on the body—especially the face—that require daily routines, as well as hair loss issues in aging people that can be treated with effective shampoos. On March 26, Nagy Zsolt from the Bible Society (Biblia Szövetség) explores why faith and a personal relationship with God matter after difficult life struggles; their work includes Bible school, conferences, lectures, summer camps such as biking and canoeing, plus journals and books. March 28 features a hiking tour on the Kistarcsa side of Nagytarcsa.
April Adventures
April 2 features Mercel Attila on jobs in the film industry—he has handled numerous roles, met famous Hungarian actors, and performed old-school tasks with colleagues that are no longer needed. On April 9, Csapó Beatrix shares about Gödöllő’s social garden, which offers training in therapeutic gardening for disadvantaged individuals to foster harmony with nature and support the underprivileged. April 11 is a local history walk in the Kistarcsa cemetery. Tillmann Kinga recounts her 6.5-month backpacking trip through South America on April 16—what it takes (courage and freedom as a solo woman), spotting pitfalls, budget living tips, and the continent’s natural and cultural treasures. April 18-19 features an exhibition of Kistarcsa painters at Csigaház. On April 23, Telekiné Kovács Ágnes covers King Matthias’s (Mátyás) Corvinas—his Renaissance library was Europe’s second largest after the Vatican’s, originally with nearly 2,500 items; today, 216 survive, 53 in Hungary.
