Marcali is planning a cozy night at the theater just before the holidays. On Sunday, December 14, 2025, families can head to the local Cultural Center for The Snow Queen (Hókirálynő), a winter fairy-tale musical for all ages. Curtain rises at 4:00 p.m., and the venue is at Múzeum köz 2. The organizers reserve the right to change the time or program, so keep an eye on updates and local listings if you’re planning to go.
What’s On and Where
The headliner is The Snow Queen (Hókirálynő), a classic snowy tale reimagined as a musical—colorful, melodic, and family-friendly. It’s staged at the Cultural Center (Művelődési Ház) in the heart of Marcali. Tickets and contact details for the event are available via the local program tourism pages and the national event calendar. If you’re searching by date, filter for 2025.12.14 and Sunday. The listings help with timing, accommodation, and where to grab a bite before or after the show.
Stay Nearby: Hotel Blue Moon (Hotel Kék Hold)
If you’re making a weekend of it, Hotel Blue Moon (Hotel Kék Hold) sits right in Marcali’s center yet tucked into a quiet green pocket, with the train station close by—handy if you’re arriving by rail. Rooms and guest areas are set to modern, high standards, and the amenities include a bar, garden, terrace, and free Wi‑Fi throughout the property. There’s a daily menu if you want an easy lunch, and the site doubles as an event venue. It’s a practical pick for families heading to the musical or anyone keen to explore the southern shore of Lake Balaton without the bustle.
Eat Local: From Hearty to Sweet
On the road between Kéthely and Marcali, just 9.3 miles from Lake Balaton along Route 68, Lóki Csárda in Lókpuszta brings classic Hungarian comfort food together with lighter, reform-style dishes. One standout: specialties made from the owner’s own Hungarian Grey cattle—rich, local, and unmistakably Somogy in character. It’s a straightforward stop if you’re driving in from the lake or circling the region for winter markets and performances.
For craveable, quick options in town, there’s a spot serving both set menus and à la carte meals, plus house‑made desserts, artisan ice creams, and custom cakes—with delivery if you’re winding down after the show. Expect real craftsmanship behind the sweets and densely creamy scoops. Savory choices go beyond the usual: tender steaks, bagels, burgers, wraps, and burritos, all aimed at decent portions for a fair price.
If you prefer a home‑style lunch with a warm welcome, another local eatery leans into classic flavors and a family vibe. Their own confectionery turns out fresh cakes perfect for an after‑meal treat. Between these picks, you can plan a full afternoon: early lunch, The Snow Queen at four, and dessert to cap off the evening.
