Dates to circle

The season kicks off with a drawing course at the Star Fortress (Csillagerőd) on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, followed by two more sessions in the new year on January 6 and January 20, 2026. Then comes the Star Ball (Csillagbál) on January 24, 2026 — the glittering event that caps the early-season lineup in style. All events are in Komárom, with exact times available via the venue’s contacts.

Where to stay

Komárom makes it easy if you want to turn an event into a mini-getaway. Close to the thermal spa, the upper floor of a private house hosts two studio apartments with separate entrances and full amenities. In the city center, Forrás Hotel sits directly on the thermal bath grounds; its rear door opens into the spa park, and room rates include a buffet breakfast and spa entry. Nearby restaurants are plentiful, and sports options abound.

Hét Vezér Apartment Hotel (Hét Vezér Apartmanhotel) borders Komárom Thermal Spa (Komáromi Gyógyfürdő) with its own private gate. Most apartments have terraces overlooking mirror-smooth pools just 65.6 feet away. Thanks to direct access, every spa facility is 1–2 minutes on foot, and guests can come and go all day without limits.

Aqua Hotel Komárom lies about one kilometer from the center, right next to Brigetio Thermal Bath (Brigetio Gyógyfürdő), perfect for rest, recovery, and sport. Expect a buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant and a year-round Aqua Bar. Another local guesthouse runs an air-conditioned, revamped buffet restaurant serving daily from 11:30 to 21:00 with two soups, 8–10 mains, plus salad and dessert bars; its quiet rooms accommodate up to 12 guests at once.

There’s also an apartment house with 2- and 4-bed units, each with a bathroom and kitchen, plus shower-WC, TV, and fridge; the building offers a shared kitchen, shared bathroom, and a meeting room. Photos are illustrative, as layouts vary. Getting here is simple: Komárom sits just 4.3 miles off the M1 motorway. The region’s natural treasure is its medicinal water, feeding a year-round spa and therapy complex.

At Tulipán Hotel, quality and guest satisfaction have driven a decade of steady upgrades. On a quiet side street in the city center, it’s a solid base for trips to Monostor Fortress (Monostori Erőd) or across the bridge to Komárno (Révkomárom) in Slovakia.

Vasmacska Restaurant and Guesthouse (Vasmacska Étterem és Panzió) rests at the foot of the Hungary–Slovakia border bridge, the closest restaurant to Monostor Fortress (Monostori Erőd). Choose from nearby cultural, tourist, and sports activities. The inn offers 20 double rooms, two triple rooms, and two quadruples, all with bathrooms, color TVs, and fridges; apartments add a kitchenette. A year-round thermal bath is a five-minute walk.

A leisure park awaits in Puskaporosi Farmstead (Puskaporosi major), a short drive from Komárom, set in vast greenery with a range of services for rest, recharge, and fun.

Food and coffee breaks

At the Danube Bastion Port Reception (Dunai Bástya Portai Fogadótér), grab coffee, cappuccino, tea, mineral water, or soft drinks during official opening hours. From March to October, settle on the terrace in good weather or head indoors when it turns.

Plan it your way

Organizers keep phone lines open for details and reservations, and the Komárom Program Tourism portal offers a national events calendar, date filters, and quick add-to-list and notification tools. Book a table, book a room, and make a weekend of it.

Pros
+
Family-friendly vibe: mix of workshops, theater, musicals, comedy, and live music means kids, teens, and adults all find something
+
Easy spa add-on: tons of nearby thermal baths and hotels with direct spa access make it a relaxing mini-getaway
+
Unique venue: a historic star-shaped fortress adds serious atmosphere you won’t get at a standard theater
+
Simple logistics for drivers: Komárom is about 4.3 miles off the M1 motorway, so renting a car from Budapest or Vienna is straightforward
+
Budget-friendly options: apartments, guesthouses, and hotels at different price points, many with breakfast and spa entry included
+
Cross-border bonus: quick hop over the bridge to Komárno, Slovakia, for an extra country in your trip
+
Low crowds compared to big-city events, so easier to snag tickets and enjoy a more local feel
Cons
Not a globally famous headliner venue, so international name recognition (event and location) is modest
Hungarian likely dominates: while you can attend without it, phone booking and on-site info may be easier if someone in your group speaks Hungarian
Public transport is doable but slower: you’ll likely rely on regional trains/buses and a taxi; a car is more convenient
Compared to big European fortress shows or U.S. themed venues, production scale may be smaller and dates can shift, so plans need flexibility
