Komárom’s Star Fortress (Csillagerőd) is rolling out a lively 2026 season packed with open-air theater and community events. Expect a mix of musicals, comedies, and music-driven shows, plus creative workshops and a festive winter ball to kick things off.
What’s On
January brings two early highlights: a Drawing Course at the Star Fortress (Csillagerőd) on 2026.01.20 in Komárom, then the glitzy Star Ball (Csillagbál) on 2026.01.24, also in Komárom. Throughout the season, the venue leans into variety, promising crowd-pleasing stage productions under the stars alongside relaxed, family-friendly programs.
Where to Find It
The leisure park sits a few minutes’ drive from Komárom, out in Puskaporosi Major, wrapped in vast greenery. It’s built for unwinding: nature at the doorstep, a calm vibe, and plenty of services for those who want to rest, recharge, or just have fun.
Fuel Up by the River
At the Danube Bastion (Dunai Bástya) Port Reception Area, visitors can grab coffee, cappuccino, tea, mineral water, and soft drinks during official opening hours. From March to October, sip on the terrace in good weather; if not, the cozy indoor space has you covered.

- Some programs may be in Hungarian, so jokes and dialogue-heavy plays could be harder to follow without translation
Cons
–
Komárom isn’t as internationally famous as Budapest or Prague, so first-time visitors might need extra planning and research
–
The venue sits outside town; public transport to the exact site may be limited, making taxis or a car rental more convenient
–
Dates and programs can change, so you’ll want a flexible plan and to double-check schedules before you go
